Robert Hawkins Yellowknife Centre
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise because I'm going to tell the Assembly that I'll be voting against the motion. I told the assembly earlier that I would be speaking against it, although I would not stop unanimous consent to proceed with this motion strictly on my own personal belief.
The assembly was scheduled to continue to Thursday. It is my opinion, even though we did not have bills to pass, business was done in an orderly fashion, which I would commend, but I believe we are missing out on valuable question time. Mr. Speaker, just to quickly sum up, we're missing out on question time and it will be five months almost until we meet in this House and I think that's a valuable opportunity missed. So I'll be voting against the motion. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Please be seated. Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, thank you for all the work you have done during this sitting of the Legislative Assembly. I look forward to enjoying the celebrations planned for both National Aboriginal Day and Canada Day, two very important days on our calendar.

Now as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to asset to the following bills: Bill 5, Tlicho Community Government Act; Bill 6, An Act to Amend the Payroll Tax Act, 1993 and the Income Tax Act; and, Bill 11, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 2004-05.
My prayer for you and your families is that God will bless your time with them and that He will grant you travelling mercies to be with your constituents. I wish you all a very pleasant and happy summer and look forward to your return back to this House in October. Mahsi.
