Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The Minister of DIAND seems to hold all the power in the Northwest Territories and that's not fair because he wasn't elected by the people of the Northwest Territories; we were. So I think it's time we take a strong stand. Not just us in this Assembly, but all the leadership in the NWT. It's time we take a strong stand, tell Ottawa this is our land, and if they don't want to negotiate right away, then I think and would the Premier be willing to declare our independence?

---Applause
