Mr. Speaker, with regard to Motion No. 1, the government would support that motion with the correction of the spelling error.
Motion No. 2 the government cannot support. It is not because of the intent. The intent is certainly in the right direction. However, a legal opinion has suggested that the recognition does not actually give the Inuvialuit settlement region any further guarantees or claims. There are already provisions in there with respect to the Western Arctic land claim, the Inuvialuit final agreement and the Western Arctic claims and, therefore, it is not appropriate to have that second reference or change.
