Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I know my honourable colleagues have made strong statements for the last week or last couple weeks with regard to the transfer of the Territorial Treatment Centre to Hay River. With regard to that and with regard to this motion specifically, Mr. Chairman, I am going to have to say that I cannot support this motion. It's just that my mandate, as an elected representative from the Nahendeh riding, is to be supportive of decentralization and I will maintain that mandate and champion it at every opportunity that I can. It was really disheartening to have the 27 jobs removed from the Hay River riding and here I see an opportunity to replace them. I'm supportive of it and I think it is a good thing. That's where I stand with regard to this motion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
