Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I was going to speak to the amendment that my colleague just spoke of, but it seems like there's no need for that, and I'd like to applaud the Minister for being progressive on this issue. You know, in following suit with Quebec, the North is on the progressive edge of this issue and moving forward, and it's always nice to feel like Canada's catching up with you rather than us catching up with Canada. So I applaud this decision and I think it very much supports what the standing committee heard when this bill was reviewed in public. The other component of this bill is of course directly in line with this government's commitments to the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations and also to our stated political objective of reconciliation by allowing Indigenous peoples to reclaim names that have been lost to them, and I think this bill shows that we are a government that understands the dynamics of reconciliation are actively moving to pursue it and as someone personally who holds rights in very high, individual rights and freedoms and very value, I'm very pleased to support this bill and the amendments to the Act.

I think the community did a very good job at bringing some of the issues to light, and I thank the Minister for being willing to work with committee, willing to work with the people of the Northwest Territories and willing to be progressive for the sake of all Northerners. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
