Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I’ll also throw in a twist to my Member’s statement on the hand games tournament.
[English translation not provided.]
Mr. Speaker, this past weekend... [English translation not provided.]
...as far as northern Alberta. The community was full of excitement, fully energized. You can hear the drum beat. We as the Dene people call it the heartbeat. You can hear it from miles away.
The event brought families together, friends united, and new acquaintances. It was time to share, time to laugh, time to connect with old friends, time to respect, time to heal and, most importantly, a time to carry on a tradition of our way of life.
First place was Wekweeti; second Tulita; third was Wrigley; then Deline, Behchoko and Fort Simpson.
I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.
---Unanimous consent granted.
Mr. Speaker, I’d just like to highlight the results that there’s been a sixth place finishing, as I highlighted. I’d just like to congratulate all the teams and the community of Behchoko for having a most successful hand games tournament... [Microphone turned off.]
...from across the Northwest Territories to this community. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
