Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to speak to the principle of the bill. I’m certainly excited at the fact that the committee is going to eventually get the Wildlife Act finally and we are going to take the bill around the Northwest Territories. I just wanted to speak a little bit about the fact that we do live in a jurisdiction that values public input and the process that’s out there. We want to ensure that it’s a fair process for everybody. Anybody that wants to provide a submission, wants to speak to the committee, we will be there to listen and observe what people are telling us.

It’s going to be a big undertaking going out to public consultations on this bill. There’s been a lot of traffic on it already and I’m sure that we will certainly hear from a number of people across the Territory. We are going to try to get into as many communities across the Territory as we can in the next couple of months, so again I’m looking forward to this process playing itself out.

I don’t think we should, you know, it’s been a long time and I appreciate the comments from some of the other Members. It’s been a long time getting to this stage. I think we owe it to the public that we serve to make sure that at the end of the day the bill that is going to be approved by this House is the best one that we can possibly get for everybody that lives in the Northwest Territories.

I want to stress again that we will be out there listening to the concerns of all residents of the Northwest Territories when we take into consideration Bill 9, Wildlife Act. With that, thank you.
