Mr. Speaker, I too have similar concerns on the bill. I believe that people have the right to mobility. They have the right to move within certain avenues, especially to carry out traditional functions, where people may come to the community with a boat, where they have to unload with families and all their supplies and they have no other options in our communities.
This bill is great for where you have major highway systems and what not, but I believe that you have to put some realistic terms to when we establish these bills.
The hardship that this causes small communities and people in small communities, such as Aklavik, where a lot of people depend on the transportation of the boats and what not. They travel to the communities. They go out to their whaling camps. They go out to their fish camps and I think that we have to be realistic here.
Sure, it is a great idea. People should not ride in the box in a vehicle on the highway. However, I think the Minister had his opportunity to do the right thing. He submitted saying that he was going to do it and now he is coming back rescinding that commitment.
I for one will make this clear that I will fight this all the way until he lives up to his commitment.
