Question.

Question is being called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

---Carried

Bill 1 has had third reading. Mr. Clerk, at this time, would you please ascertain if His Honour, the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, is prepared to enter the Chamber and give assent to bills?

Please be seated. Madam Speaker, Members of the Legislative Assembly, as we approach the break, it is my hope that the people in the Northwest Territories will enjoy all the wonderful activities that the good weather allows us to participate in and that the people take the time to enjoy the company of their family and of their friends during our much anticipated summer season.

For my part, I hope to visit as many of you in your communities and wish you well for the assemblies, gatherings and events you are planning over the next few months. I extend special wishes to the Assembly of First Nations for their annual assembly to be held in Yellowknife from the 4th to the 8th of July. This is the first time that the AFN annual assembly has taken place in the Northwest Territories and we are honoured to welcome participants to our capital city.

As the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bills: Bill 1, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No.1, 2005-2006; Bill 2, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 4, 2004-2005.

I want to wish you all a safe trip home to your communities and hope that you enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating summer. With that, thank you, safe trip, bon voyage, merci beaucoup.

---Applause

Members, just before we have the orders of the day, I would also like to thank you for the privilege it’s been to preside over the House for the last week. It was a new experience for me. So thank you for your patience. As we each go our separate ways now, I know that the summer is not a holiday and that we have many assemblies and meetings and work events to attend, but I do hope you will take some quality time to savour moments with your family and friends as you work on behalf of your constituents over the summer. Please have a safe and enjoyable summer.

Madam Speaker, there will be a meeting of the Accountability and Oversight committee tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
