Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank my colleagues again for their work on developing the motion that's before us today and the hard work that went into it over the past few weeks. I'd also like to thank the Premier for his comments in warming up to the motion.
Mr. Speaker, I think the main thing is that we do our part and we do what we can, but it's hard to do that when we don't have control, as some of my colleagues have mentioned on this side of the House. We continue to fight with Ottawa on resource revenue, a deal for northerners, a fair deal. How are we going to get the much needed capital infrastructure to get our projects off the ground, to get the hydro development that we need, to look at other alternative energy sources without a resource revenue deal? We also need to work at settling the two big outstanding claims with the Akaitcho and the Dehcho so we can move forward on devolution. We can get the jobs that are in Ottawa today in the Northwest Territories; we can really deal with our environment here on the ground in the Northwest Territories, not from some ivory tower in Ottawa, Mr. Speaker. Again, I want to thank my colleagues here. We have to work together. I know Mr. Lafferty spoke of working with aboriginal governments. We have to listen, as he mentioned, to the elders, the traditional knowledge that's out there, we must pay attention to this as we move forward with any plan. Again, I do want to thank Members and, Mr. Speaker, I'd also like to ask for a recorded vote on the motion. Thank you.
