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.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I would like to make note that I will be voting against this motion. I do not believe that we should bind the next Legislature on this matter and I question how we are going to deal with the court order in that particular case if there is dissolution of this particular bill or a sunset clause in this bill, so I will be voting against this, Madam Chairperson.

Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I will be voting against this motion and Madam Chairperson, if this bill passes and the amendment that is proposed, if this passes I think the first thing this government should do is authorize a review of whether or not this or any government can put a time limit on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms granted to every citizen in Canada. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
