Thank you, Mr. Chair. What this clause is proposing is it is presently illegal to sell liquor on polling day in the NWT according to this act. And in our infinite wisdom we're going to make it illegal to also sell cannabis on polling day. So instead of having one archaic and outdated law, we're going to have two. What was the point of legalizing cannabis if we're just going to close some random licensed premises? I can guarantee almost no one knows. I don't even know why we would be doing this. I think this is an absolutely ridiculous suggestion, and I am not in favour of it. Thank you.
