Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I stand today in support of the motion. I would like to thank Mr. Miltenberger and Mr. Villeneuve for coming out and putting forward this motion. I think water is very important and essential to the basic things of life. I am looking forward to voting on this motion in support of it. It's important because we have the Mackenzie River, the Athabasca River and the whole Beaufort Sea out there.

Mr. Speaker, water flows and it can still affect all the Beaufort Sea, so it's vital for us. Also, Mr. Speaker, although in Tuk we get our water from Kudluk Lake that is piped across into our reservoir, with all the chemicals that are put into the reservoir, why would people still go out into the lakes and get fresh ice? I know how important water is to everybody. I just want to stand today in support of the motion and say thank you to my colleagues. Thank you.
