Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will try and keep my comments very brief and to the motion. This is a very unfortunate incident that has taken place, but to me it is also a very simple issue that we are dealing with. I look across the Territories and I see every one of us in this House as role models to the Northwest Territories, and especially our youth. I see school policies being set down that are very firm with no second chances involved. You get caught drinking when you are on business and representing a school, and you are suspended. You pay for the crime that you have supposedly committed, and you are dealt with that way. I look at this as nothing personal, strictly a business thing, and I look at any Member across there or here, faced with the same set of circumstances, my values, my principles and what I believe in, and what I think that our job is here in representing the constituents that we do, I would make the same decision that I am making here today. That is I will be supporting this motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
