I'm just making an intervention on trying to persuade the government to be less dictatorial in their approach to this legislation.
This legislation does not affect you and your communities across the country. It only affects people in Nunavut. The point is that the viewpoint of Nunavut people should be the predominant viewpoint when it comes to these matters of amendments that have been put forward in a decent fashion. If the parliamentary secretary wants to debate these motions, or explain his point of view for not supporting them, I would appreciate that as well. I'm glad that he did this on one out of the last 30 amendments. I appreciate that. I trust that he would continue to do that, to explain to the people of Nunavut why he's rejecting the work that they have put forward to this committee.
