Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Those were the comments by Caroline Wawzonek, the deputy premier of the Northwest Territories.
I'll read the motion again for the room.
That, given that the Premier of the Northwest Territories has requested a complete exemption from the Carbon Tax for his jurisdiction, the Committee invite the Premier of the Northwest Territories, R.J. Simpson, to appear on this request for Carbon Tax exemption and the challenges Northwest Territories faces with the cost of living, and that the committee report to the House that it calls on the government to immediately carve out Northwest Territories from the Carbon Tax.
I will reiterate this in the spirit that it appears the legislature in Northwest Territories is going to move forward with their own. This is a real opportunity for us to have their backs and to really back them up on their legislation rather than coming in and saying that Ottawa knows best and blocking them from doing so.
I'll put that before the committee to discuss, and I look forward to the conversation.
