Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, during the committee review process, the department made suggestions of this nature and the committee reviewed this motion in comparison with what we wanted to proceed with and felt that that this was even more cumbersome if you refer to the last portion of this motion: (2.1) A wilderness conservation area may be established only if industrial activity can be prohibited in the area. Mr. Chairman, it's leaving a lot out in saying because we don't have that jurisdiction right now, we are going to wait for the federal government to decide if this area can be developed or not or if it will be developed or not or if those lands would be removed, so that we can establish a park. Whereas the committee felt that the amendment we were planning to make would have been much simpler to deal with because it speaks only to what the GNWT can do. This is referring to putting an act in place that would refer to what a federal government can do, might do or may do. Committee members felt that was not conducive to what we thought was the plan and felt that our amendment was much simpler and to the point and dealt with our government's jurisdiction. With that, I can't be supporting the motion on the amendment that's been put forward. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
