Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will not go into any lengthy speech in support of this bill. However, I do not have a problem supporting it. In talking with Mr. Dent, most of the points that he brings up in here, I am in support of. I know that in all economic development that we are proposing for the North, and the realization that we are going to be needing help if we want to develop the Territories in the form that we are talking about, many companies are having a hard time finding workers right now. That indicates to me that we are going to have to be encouraging more people to come North to help us along.

When we bring people up and ask them to come and support the Territories and work towards the development and betterment of the TTTTTerritories, they should also be able to enjoy any of the benefits that come along with living in the Territories.

We very openly talk about everything the North has to offer, such as hunting and trapping. I think a residency requirement is one that is very important to residents, as well as the rest of the country. I do not think we should be penalizing anybody who is up here helping develop our Territory by making them wait two years for hunting. Therefore, I will be supporting this bill to reduce that time frame to six months. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
