Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the issue I want to address today is one that has come before territorial governments in the past and, in particular, the 13th and 14th Legislative Assemblies. The issue, Mr. Speaker, is the question of whether the Northwest Territories is the right name for our territory. The people of the NWT have spoken loud and clear on this topic and a vast majority have said leave it alone. Yes, there are a few individuals who -- for whatever reason, be it personal preference or leaving a legacy -- would like to see the name changed. Yes, there have been a few names...

Thank you. If it is appropriate at this time, I would like to make that motion. I move that this committee recommends the government establish regular reporting of all southern and international travel.

How long will it be, Mr. Speaker, before we know how the federal government is going to treat that, whether it is going to be just a one-time thing, whether they are going to adjust the thing on an ongoing basis? When could we expect to find out how the federal government is going to...
