The former territorial rep- resentative for the Dehcho and brother of NWT Premier Bob McLeod is up against two other contenders for the nomination including West- ernArcticLiberalAssociation president Kieron Testart and former Yellowknife city coun- cillor and indigenous wom- ens rights advisor Gail Cyr. The successful nominee will face off against Floyd Roland of the Conservatives and NDP incumbent Den- nis Bevington for the role of NWT MP during the federal election on Oct. 19. After talking to my family andmanyfriendsleadersand politicians I was convinced that we need a change McLeod told the Journal of his decision to run. We need a change in Ottawa and we need a change here in the NWT. McLeod said he wants to see improvement of quality of life in the NWT start- ing with the high cost of living and issues like af- fordable housing sustain- able energy addictions and homelessness. He also wants to help rein- vigorate the territorys econ- omy to ensure companies are comfortable investing their money here starting with getting much-needed infrastructure off the ground that will support natural re- source development starting with roads into regions like the Sahtu and Tlicho. When it comes to the contentious issue of frack- ing McLeod said it needs to be dealt with federally and must take into con- sideration the concerns of the public. The Liberal Party has already stated that we need to draft legislation govern- ing this issue at a national level and I totally agree he said. There is concern theres a lot of unknowns about fracking and while the government has the ability to grant permits the people still have a so- cial licence to object to it. We need to make sure ev- erything that needs to be known about fracking is available. Boosting the economy is also dependent on working out the remaining unset- tled land claims with First Nations in the territory McLeod said. We have to sort out some of the challenges that are causing problems with the land claims moving forward. Theres land use plans being developed in every one of the land claims areas and I think those need to be accepted or finalized so that people know what the rules are what the policies are when theyre going into an area - what to expect he said. Federally McLeod said he supports commitments already made by the Lib- eral Party including fully implementing the recom- mendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission revisiting the anti-terror- ism bill C-51 and possibly resurrecting the Kelowna Accord to improve educa- tion employment and living conditions for Aboriginal Canadians. He said he hopes to get a spot in Justin Trudeaus cabi- net if elected MP. I dont want to waste my time as a back bencher. If I can be in the mix of decision makingatthecabinetlevelId be happy with that he said. McLeod said he is up against two very credible candidates for the Liberal nomination but hopes vot- ing members note his many years of operating in a politi- cal environment. I have developed very good contacts I have devel- oped strong communication linksImateamplayerIhave proven leadership skills he said. I think all these things should be taken into consid- eration when people come to vote.
