I grew up as a second-class citizen because all the political decisions that were made for my territory were being made in Ottawa. That wasn't the case for someone in Alberta, British Columbia, or Saskatchewan, or anywhere else in this country.
We've had a long battle to get what we need. I fought in Parliament just to get a borrowing limit removed from the Government of Northwest Territories so they could borrow money to do public projects. No other province has that problem. We're still very much beholden to the NWT act of Parliament, and that's the problem. We don't have the political freedom to vote for the people in our territory who can do the work that you do in other provinces.
