Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what we have heard today on family violence takes on many forms and affects all members of the family. Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to highlight violence against seniors, better known as granny bashing.
Mr. Speaker, we all know this happens within families in one form or another. In my communities in Nunakput, the leaders are encouraging the NWT Housing Corporation to construct seniors' facilities as a means of reducing seniors abuse. I am encouraged to be advised that the NWT Housing Corporation is in fact responding favourably to this type of request all through the Northwest Territories. I am encouraged that this would serve to reduce to some degree seniors abuse.
Mr. Speaker, I support this no violence - zero tolerance motion. I think we should look at it as a means of not just the younger generation. We should look at it as applying to violence to all levels of the family. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
