Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, further to what my colleagues have said, I know that when we first started, public safety was on our agenda. It is a priority for this government. So I do appreciate this bill.
Living in the small communities, you know, there's a lot of issues. There's a lot of issues with drugs and crimes that we have never seen before. And it's -- you know, the stats in the Northwest Territories, especially for crimes, is bad. Now it's going to be even more worse than what is presented. So even my colleagues talk about the public housing. Yes, the public housing, we can use this legislation but for private dwellings, the drug dealers are moving into private dwellings and there's not much that we can do. That's what we've been hearing. And with this bill, it will help because a lot of private dwellings or homeowners, they are scared, you know. They're scared for their life, and they're scared for if they go against them, what's going to happen to their house. And that's what we've been hearing. And they're all vulnerable. A lot of them are vulnerable, so. And I've been hearing, and you've been seeing it on social media too as well, that, you know, I have heard many of our residents, even our leaders, you know, they welcome this SCAN legislation. And many have said that we want to take back our communities that is currently overrun by drugs and crimes. They want to see, and I would like to see a lot of our young children live in a safe place and play. You know, they should not be worried about vehicles, unknown vehicles, or drug dealers in the communities. Because a lot of them, they're luring young girls and young boys, and it's really bad. And I do welcome this bill, and I will support it for the safety of our children so they can enjoy their community as we have done when we were young. Thank you.
