Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in a very little while, next month, our communities will be going to the polls for municipal elections. They will also be taking part in the federal election shortly.
In regard to the municipal elections, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage people to run for leadership positions and be active in the voting process, both federal and municipal. There are also community corporation elections in some of my communities as well.
The point I wish to make here, Mr. Speaker, is that I am not sure whether I would like them to follow our examples in this House. I have been told from back home, that we seem to spend a lot of time squabbling over what salaries are for our EAs, what the roles and responsibilities are of our staff, rather than major issues that are bothering this Territory, such as economic development opportunities, our social problems and our health problems. The people I speak to at home would like me to urge people, the Members here, to concentrate on more serious issues in this government. Thank you.
