Debates of June 2, 2004 (day 18)

Please be seated. Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, thank you for all the work you have done during this sitting of the Legislative Assembly. I look forward to enjoying the celebrations planned for both National Aboriginal Day and Canada Day, two very important days on our calendar. I hope you, your families and all the people in your communities have the opportunity to join in the ceremonies and fun that marks our regard for these very special days.

Now as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to asset to the following bills: Bill 5, Tlicho Community Government Act; Bill 6, An Act to Amend the Payroll Tax Act, 1993 and the Income Tax Act; and, Bill 11, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 2004-05.

My prayer for you and your families is that God will bless your time with them and that He will grant you travelling mercies to be with your constituents. I wish you all a very pleasant and happy summer and look forward to your return back to this House in October. Mahsi.
