Madam Speaker, this bill is a priority for the government and is essential to restoring the legal certainty in resource development in the NWT.
We have had two days of debate on the bill at second reading. The INAN committee heard from a number of panels of witnesses, and we are currently on our second day of debate at third reading. I believe that when this negotiation has taken place with the partners, this is sufficient debate and we need to get on with it and get it passed.
