Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this motion is calling on the government and the Members of this House to allow for due process in allowing for public hearings to take place on this bill. I believe this bill is an important enough issue that we should have had public hearings when it went to second reading. I think it is crucial that with a bill of this type, that we conduct public hearings, that we go out to the public to see exactly what the public thinks in the whole Northwest Territories, and we have to take that time to do justice to this bill. We should have done that. Now, this is the only time we have to do so.

I am asking my colleagues that we allow that process to take place.
