Thanks, Mr. Chair. It's not often that we have to deal with motions in budgets in Committee of the Whole. Look, as I said earlier, we don't have the funding for this. This shouldn't come as a surprise to the Minister. I raised this in January with the Minister that, if the funding had not been secured by the time this came to the floor, I would bring it forward, so it doesn't come as a surprise to the Minister. I'm not saying anything against our staff who have probably been working hard, trying to get the federal government to pay some attention to us, but the fact is: we don't have the money to do this. I think it could easily be brought through in a supplementary appropriation afterwards.
More importantly, this is a board, too, that has been around for eight years, has not dealt with one dispute, and I think is based on some legislation that was basically forced on us by the federal government in the past and does not meet expectations of co-management regime. Even some of the principles that we've passed in the new Mineral Resources Act in terms of making sure that there's some reasonable limits put on the way that mining is conducted in the Northwest Territories. For a whole variety of reasons, I just don't see the need for this board. It's not doing any work. We don't have the money in place, and I would urge my colleagues to agree with me that this can be removed. Then if the Minister can find the money somewhere else, he can bring it back through a supplementary appropriation. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
