Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition dealing with the matter of privatization or merger of the NWT Power Corporation.

Mr. Speaker, the petition contains 988 signatures of Northwest Territories residents and, Mr. Speaker, the petition requests that the Members of the Legislative Assembly vote against any proposal that contains privatization or merger of public utilities or services, closure of any public utility facilities or reduction in any service levels of any kind to NWT residents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
