Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think we have to go a little bit sorry, do a little bit better than that. I think what the Minister has to do is talk to the federal Minister and hold TRC and that claim accountable for the funding that they're doing for Aboriginal students. Not only Aboriginal students everybody who lives up in the Delta. I mean, right from the Beaufort Delta in Nunakput, the cost of travel, everything that comes into play with that, Mr. Speaker. Something has to be done. We're not getting the youth are not getting out travelling. They need help. We have to help them...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to tell my Premier that please stand up for the people of my riding and the people of the Inuvialuit settlement region, and the whole Beaufort Delta, in regards to this moratorium. And we need help. Help us help you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to remind everybody this is a settled land claim, which was done 39 years ago, and our federal government goes and shuts us down for our only way of living basically in regards to that, taking the I guess taking food off the table, giving us getting everybody on income support.

Mr. Speaker, what is the federal government giving the Government of the Northwest Territories to compensate the Beaufort Delta on not in taking away? What are they giving us? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my riding in Nunakput are resource rich and cash poor. Our land, we have enough oil and gas for the Inuvialuit to prosper for generations. But, Mr. Speaker, resources are all locked up by our federal government.

Mr. Speaker, people in my riding are overcrowded homes, they have the highest cost of living, and they're the most food insecure. The struggle with the drug and alcohol addictions is everywhere, and there is little opportunity to work.

Mr. Speaker, we lack hope. We lack opportunities. We need the economy back. We need the oil and gas development so...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the "feds" federal government extend restrictions to Arctic offshore drilling. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I brought up the moratorium and M18 project that's going to put people to work in my home community and the whole Beaufort Delta, in regards to the M18 project just outside of Tuk on 7(1)(a) lands, which is owned by the people of Tuk and under the Inuvialuit final agreement. 39 years ago it was signed again, Mr. Speaker. Again, the federal government goes and puts it under review.

Again, what are they giving us, Mr. Speaker? What are they going to give to the people of the Inuvialuit settlement region for the holdup for the M18 project? What's going to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my Member's statement today was on the federal government restrictions on extended year for the moratorium.

Mr. Speaker, where does my Premier stand and what is she doing to ensure that the offshore oil and gas moratorium gets lifted at this next and final I'm hoping the final deadline; where does she stand and this government stand? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories study the government of Saskatchewan Institutional Control Program and develop a Northwest Territories model that better implements the polluter pays principle for the long term and unforeseen remediation of mining sites while providing regulatory certainty with respect to industry relinquishment; and further, that the Northwest Territories model should be developed by the end of the 19th Legislative Assembly. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories establish an internal capacity for an effective early warning system to prevent further public liabilities; and further, this approach will also require clear measures to prevent perpetual care situations, including mandatory financial security that is regularly reviewed and adjusted. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories ensure it has the internal expertise to inform regulatory decisionmaking and inspection capacity to prevent further public liabilities. Thank you, Madam Chair.
