Debates of November 7, 2013 (day 4)
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. I know it’s been a long day and a long couple of weeks, so I appreciate everyone allowing good debate on this. I want to thank the seconder, Mr. Moses, for allowing this debate to occur today and I want to thank all the Members here who took the time to speak towards this motion and provided some good ideas and some great thoughts. Of course, I want to thank Minister Miltenberger for again addressing it and I’m encouraged by his words today. I’d also like to thank the many residents who e-mailed and called in support of this motion in the last couple of days and, of course, the elected City of Yellowknife officials who took the time to write in some letters of support, which I’ve tabled earlier today. Finally, Mr. Speaker, I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank our legislative research staff and our in-house legal support. Without them, I can guarantee you that this motion would not have seen the light of day here in the House. So with that, I’ll conclude and I will be seeking a recorded vote. Thank you.
