Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I listened with interest to the Member's comments and his speaking to the motion where he belabours us for not consulting the people, for putting in a date, for not giving him an opportunity to have a say, then he turns around, after we've amended the motion to make sure we focused just on getting the tools to allow us to possibly make a change, to stand up, without any consultation from anybody, the 25 people he referred to, there are 42,000 people in the Northwest Territories. I was in my constituency this weekend and I didn't hear anything near what the Member is saying.

It seems to be, at the very least, contradictory, if not a double standard, where he on one hand accuses us and says we shouldn't be doing this, it's taking people's rights for granted, then stand up and throw in a motion that's so narrow as to be almost useless and handcuff the intent of the motion, which is just to get the tools and then let's have this debate, let's put it to the people, let's give them what Mr. Bromley has said they need, that Mr. Dolynny has said they need as a foundation piece of democracy and then to put this out, if it's not outright duplicitous, it's friggin' double standard. And I withdraw the friggin'. Thank you.
