Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm very pleased to speak in favour of this bill. It is something that I had anticipated we would be seeing on the floor of this Assembly from the beginning of our term three years ago, and we have it here today. I look forward to watching and participating in the committee review of this bill and to seeing its passage, hopefully as soon as June.
Mr. Speaker, there are lots of things that can be said in support of this, and perhaps some of my colleagues will reflect on it. But I would like to make a point that the young people of the Northwest Territories, of this city, of the schools here in Yellowknife, especially the Students Against Drinking and Driving chapters at St. Pat's High School and Sir John Franklin High School and I know there are others in other communities, have shown tremendous leadership, Mr. Speaker, and tenacity in continuing to press the government for these kinds of amendments and these kinds of conditions. I understand that there has been work here in the Northwest Territories for the past six years at least, to see these kinds of amendments come through. I want to congratulate those young people and tell them that this proves that, indeed, young people can and do make a difference in the way this country is run. Thank you.
