Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I stand here as a Member representing my community and my community's area of Nunakput. I have told the Members here that we brought issues forward and we always had good response. I have a good working relationship with the Minister. She has come to my communities. Biggest thing I told her this year: get my sealift done. Sealift's all done in my communities. I don't have to worry about food and fuel for the communities that I represent on the coast.

We have so much work here to do. I never heard the whole story. I heard one side of the story. We gave the Minister a couple times to come forward to speak and three times now refused. At the end of the day, we are all here to work for the benefit of our people. Sitting up in my office today, you take a look at your code of ethics, and you think, "Why are we here?" Your code of ethics and your code of conduct as a Member, you try to work together, all 19 of us. We all don't get along, but we're passionate about what we are trying to do to benefit our people. The people, that's who we work for.

I really think that we have to take a step back. Since COVID-19 has happened, it has been tough on everybody, communities, Members, personally, but trying to work together to make sure we get through this pandemic in a way to still provide service to our people, to make sure that is happening, and trying to support our leadership.

I supported Minister Nokleby upon her run for her position she is at. She did all what I needed for my riding, to minimize everybody's complaints on her and stuff like that.I had a good working relationship, and for the people of Nunakput, my leadership back home, they were happy with her when she came up to Tuktoyaktuk on the highway. We were waiting for the barges to come up, and then we were going to hit the outlying communities to visit constituents, but that's not going to happen now. Whoever is the new Minister is still looking on the outside, not just Yellowknife as a whole, but looking at all of our 33 communities that we represent.

Today, the information for me to make the decision to revoke the Minister, I don't have that information. I can't make a sound judgement on what is happening today. I don't have the information for myself. Everything that she has done with me, I had no problem. She has been working with us and working with the construction companies back in the Delta, and that's all of them, touring all of the Delta. Today, Mr. Speaker, I don't have all of the information. I am not satisfied with what I have got, so I am going to have to abstain from the vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
