Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to just speak briefly in support of the motion. I do believe many organizations in Yellowknife anyway, already do criminal records checks on people that work with children. I know that the schools do that and the Arctic Winter Games Society I know is engaged in that. If anybody signs up to be a volunteer, they would have to go through a criminal records check. I think this is being done. However, this motion is to fill the gaps and to make it as comprehensive as possible. So I support that in that way.
While the government does not have the power to make the private sector do it, I think this is a statement of encouragement for everyone to consider doing that where they are creating workplaces where their employees are in close contact with children and youth. I don't want to repeat everything that has been said already in support of this motion, so I will just leave it at that and I will be voting in favour of the motion. Thank you.
