I have lived in the Northwest Territories all my life and I have had second-class political status the whole time. I don't want to see that continue for my grandchildren with any new system. That's totally unacceptable to me, and I think to many other people. I grew up being a second-class citizen in this country in terms of political rights. I want us to have the same political rights as every other Canadian.
