Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I stand today again to speak of an issue that I have become quite passionate about in the last little bit as the more research I have done and the more that I have seen with the royalties from our resources leaving the NWT. The Northwest Territories, Mr. Speaker, is rich in resources. We have it all. Mr. Speaker, what is next? Is it our water? Are they going to build a pipeline for our water next? We have resources like caribou. We have resources like the oil and gas, diamonds. We have it all, Mr. Speaker. I think many will agree with me that the main beneficiaries of these resources should be the people of the Northwest Territories. Yet, the Government of Canada continues to make decisions on our behalf and they reap the rewards of our resources. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough.
