QUESTION 86-17(1): SEASONS GREETINGS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don’t think it’s any debate that there’s a holiday season coming up very shortly. I suspect I have a table officer that would back me up on that statement. My question is for the Premier. Noting that I wish all my constituents in Weledeh a very merry Christmas and the same to all the residents of the Northwest Territories, what are the wishes of the Premier today?

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. The honourable Premier, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, wish the constituents of Yellowknife South and all the people of the Northwest Territories and everybody here a very merry Christmas and happy and prosperous New Year.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate that response. One of my favourite activities is to go out and get the Christmas tree with my wife, in snowshoes, and bring it back. I enjoy the smell in the house. I’m wondering what is one of the favourite activities that the Premier engages in over the holiday season.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. That has nothing to do with the Minister’s portfolios of what he has to do in the House. Do you have any other questions?

Thank you. I have no further questions.
