Thank you, Madam Chairperson. In considering this amendment, Madam Chairperson, Cabinet weighed its intended effect against the potential for the next Legislative Assembly to find itself in the same kind of constitutional crisis that has engulfed this Assembly and Territory for the past seven months so in our view, given that the 14th Assembly will have four years to deal with this matter, the risk of another constitutional crisis is remote. However, this time provides the next, which is the 14th Assembly, with a unique opportunity to consider issues of representation once treaty and self-government negotiations are further advanced and that intergovernmental relationships between aboriginal and public governments become clear. That is the intention of complying with this amendment as recommended by the Standing Committee on Government Operations. Thank you.
