Mr. Speaker, we all know that I support decentralization where it makes sense. I support that when we look at establishing new offices, new plans and whatnot, but not to rip out something that is the heart of the community, that has roots and flourished for many years. This is nothing but political two-stepping by this Minister, and it has to end. It is Cabinet putting Yellowknife against the communities, and Yellowknife against Hay River. Let's not fool ourselves. It is Cabinet that is driving this wedge here today, not the Yellowknife Members, Mr. Speaker. Again, let's not confuse the issue on this relocation. We know why it is happening, so I call this decision today obtuse. As a reminder to those who are wondering what that means, it truly means it is insensitive. So I call the Minister obtuse to this issue, obtuse to the communities, and I think it is time that we realize what is happening and we stop it. It is not based on principles of sound budget management. It is truly based on the principles of "Let's fill Dene K'onia." Why fool ourselves?
Mr. Speaker, in closing, we all know that the WCB is looking for a home. So while maybe we can offer WCB something, a fortified department, the walls of the former jail, rather than a family oriented centre that helps kids. If you are motivated to fill that centre, fill it with WCB. As I said, they are looking for a new office to work out of; there you go. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
