Thank you, Mr. Chair. So a key component of this motion is how it relates to the parent clause, and, to quote from that, there is an exception section that says nothing in this act requires a document to be included in the registry under subsection 3 that is or may be prohibited from disclosure by any other act of the Northwest Territories or Canada or contains information that is provided implicitly, explicitly, in confidence to a person or body exercising powers, performing duties or functions in this act.
So that means, if a third party, including a business interest, came forward and said, "This is confidential information," that it could not be disclosed. You know, the rationale I would have liked to hear is: look, if we put this in the public registry, because everything is so confidential, there is no way we can get it in there, so why put it in there, because it's all going to be blocked by confidentiality concerns anyway? That is something that would be clear to me. Well, don't do it, then, because we are creating false expectations as a result. So the real crux of this is: why can't this be done? Again, we have a Minister who is willing to be the first in Canada to put forward legislated socio-economic agreements even after the objections of industry, you know, the continuing objections of industry, over a lack of clarity. However, this we have to hold fire on; this can't be done because of objections from industry. If we can do part 5, we can do this, and Members should support this motion. Thank you.
