Colleagues, before we proceed with orders of the day I would like to thank the Pages who have served us during this sitting of the Assembly.
---Applause
We have had the pleasure of seeing in our Assembly youth from Tu Nedhe, Inuvik, Inuvik Twin Lakes, Hay River North, Nunakput, Monfwi, Sahtu and Yellowknife. I would like to extend the appreciation of the House to the Pages and to their chaperones, supervisors and teachers who make this program such a meaningful experience for our territorial youth.
Although this House will adjourn until February, I know that Ministers continue to do their duties, committees are scheduled to meet in December and January, and we are all very eager to return to our constituencies and catch up with the work that continues while we are here in the capital.
I would like to remind Members that November 11th is one week from today and I urge you all to take the opportunity to acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and are continuing to serve both at home and abroad. There will be services in communities throughout the Territories and I hope that you and all northern residents will attend in support of those men and women in our Armed Forces.
As we will not meet again in this Chamber until the New Year, I would also like to take this opportunity to be the very first to extend my best wishes to you and your families for a safe and happy holiday season. As always, I wish you safe travels as we disperse today and I look forward to seeing you all in this Chamber in the New Year.
