Madam Chair, you have to remember that the population of Yukon is about 30,000 people, the majority of whom live in Whitehorse. If I lived in Whitehorse, my daily life would undoubtedly take me into contact with people who are members of the legislative assembly or who have complaints.
Similarly, the NWT population is about the same or slightly more. It is a similar situation with Yellowknife.
The commissioners of Yukon have never lived in the territory while they were commissioners. The commissioners of NWT have almost always lived elsewhere.
It prevents me from being conflicted out, or to be perceived to be, just because of my daily life, where I go to this church or I do that, or whatever else.
Ontario is a big jurisdiction. Canada is a big jurisdiction. Ottawa is a big city, and so on.
