Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Over the period of a number of years this government in the Northwest Territories has been a leading force in the residential schools. The significant historical landmarks have happened here in the Northwest Territories in terms of urging the federal government to move ahead with this very issue here. This is another point I’d like to make with this motion here. There will be other Members speaking on it, but I think this is another point where this government and the people of the Northwest Territories need to push the federal government to do the right thing for the residential schools not only in Canada, but more importantly, for the thousands of members and survivors in the Northwest Territories. That’s all I’ll be saying. I would have the other Members who wish to speak on it and I’ll be closing with my comments.
