Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have proposed this motion because in the community of Inuvik, there is a long history of east and west that is not a healthy one when you look back at the community when it originally started out. As people of Inuvik realized that Bill 15 which establishes 19 seats was going to get approval, a lot of the constituents of mine came forward and said we must at least do something. If we can not change it any other way then we must at least do the minimum of changing the names. That is why I have proposed this to try at least, in the names, remove ourselves from some of our history of Inuvik east and west originally meant. Hopefully, this will at least cover some of those bases. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So this motion changes the names to Inuvik Twin Lakes and Inuvik Boot Lake? Is that correct? Boot Lake?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Looking at the community of Inuvik and trying to establish two geographic sort of settings to the town of Inuvik that is split now by this boundary, there are two lakes in Inuvik, sets of lakes in Inuvik that fall into each riding. I can give you a long history on this but I will keep it short. The one side has a lake named Boot Lake because of its shape and the other side has a twin lake so that is the simplest and easiest to go with.

Don Morin Tu Nedhe

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On the bill as a whole, myself I will be voting against it. I never did agree with this Bill 15, never will. I believe that the people of the Northwest Territories can come up with political solutions, come up with a constitution, they can come up with a new governance. I believe they have the will to do that and they have the ability. The only reason this bill is in this Legislative Assembly is because a judge put it here. It is as simple as that. I do not agree with increasing the representation to the major centres in the Western Territory. I believe that was part of a constitutional...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, this bill is part of a constitutional development process of how governance should be carried out in the western Arctic. I do not believe that this should of went ahead without a new constitution for the west and fair representation and equal voice from all the regions and our small communities. By itself it is going to be a detrimental to our small communities so when the time comes, Madam Chairperson, I would request a recorded vote on the bill as a whole. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Morin, for your request for a recorded vote. There is no requirement for a motion at this stage. There will be a motion and a vote taken again when the bill receives third reading. This is just to say that the committee has finished considering the bill as a whole. Bill as a whole, as amended. Agreed?
