Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this position is needed in our regions because we are going to be affected by the pipeline. I just don't like the position being in Yellowknife. I would like to have some regional positions in our region. Mr. Chairman, unless there is something that we don't know regarding the proposed pipeline and the socio-economic agreements that may be coming down the tube, is there some uncertainty on this? Is there somewhere that we know for sure that this is going to happen? Is it not possible to have special warrants for a position like this being requested?
To delete this position within the government, it is in Yellowknife right now so it is a senior advisor position. I think they have enough staff in their department to use someone in this position. Even though it is along the Mackenzie Valley, I do support the work going in our region. I am going to vote in favour of this motion.
