Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just at this time, I wanted to speak to the individuals that have been named in the motion.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Freddie Carmichael is a long-time Northerner, respected businessman and has just been recently elected to the Tribal Council as president.

Mr. Speaker, I think that we were looking for an independent person that has some stature in the Northwest Territories and I trust that Mr. Carmichael will be able to fill those qualifications quite easily.

Mr. Robert Clark, Mr. Speaker, is at this time the current Ethics Commissioner for Alberta and Members are also seeking, again, an independent review. So we feel that Mr. Clark is more than capable to give an opinion and look at things at an independent, arms-length view.

With that, Mr. Speaker, I think, as stated in the previous Members' commission that was done, five years was the time they suggested. It is one of the last outstanding recommendations that came forward at that time in 1996, and I believe it is appropriate to fulfil that at this time. Thank you.
