Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank Mr. Dolynny and Mr. Nadli for bringing this motion to the floor. I think this motion should be looked at sometime in the future, not today. I have thoughts on it and I don’t think that at this time a motion like this is needed in the Northwest Territories, especially in our small communities. I can see it in the larger centres like Yellowknife. You have a lot of people coming in here and meeting all the time and we don’t have that opportunity. In our small communities, we know who is actually coming to meet with even ourselves as MLAs. We can almost be the lobbyist ourselves because we want issues and things dealt with in our communities.
Right now this, for me, raises too many questions. I feel this is a consensus-style government, and with a lobbyist registry, I’m not really comfortable with it. You are going to have to be very, very careful. I don’t see a need for it right now, so I’m going to be abstaining from this motion.
