Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I think that if we're going to bring a motion forward for a vote in a committee, it's important that the information is correct. I know Mr. Zimmer has tried many times to bring this forward. In this case, he has referenced the premier making a request for an exemption. There has been no such request, so I'm not sure what we're going to study if the premier has not made a request and if the deputy premier has not made a request. In fact, the cost of living offset is coming up for debate in the Legislative Assembly, I believe. We'd certainly be creating some influence on that discussion as federal MPs. I believe there's going to be a good debate on it. In fact, the cost of living rebate may be considered for an increase.
I'm not sure why Mr. Zimmer from B.C. wants to bring forward a motion that involves NWT. I know that his position and the government's position have been to interfere with other regions as MPs. We've seen the superboards being shoved down our throats here in Northwest Territories. We've seen MPs opposing truth and reconciliation recommendations, the murdered and missing...all these things were being blocked by MPs in other jurisdictions.
I'd like to call the question on this. Let's get it to a vote, but I would rule it out of order if I were the chair, because the information is not accurate. There is no request from the premier.
