Debates of , (day 21)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize a group of greatly spirited northerners who attended the Canada Senior Games in Whitehorse in September as ambassadors of the Northwest Territories. Team NWT was made up of 28 seniors, those aged 55 and older, from Fort Smith, Hay River and Yellowknife.
