Mr. Speaker, today I would like to use my Member’s statement to let Tu Nedhe constituents know what my plans are for the coming months.
Mr. Speaker, we have just passed the midway point of the 16th Assembly and as elected Members to this House, I have seen this Assembly go through some challenging times and yet remain focused on the interests and people of the Northwest Territories, as I am for the people of Tu Nedhe. Mr. Speaker, this is a testament to the commitment and dedication of each Member in this Assembly. Because of this, and on behalf of my constituents, I look forward to continued positive, productive working relationships with every Member of the 16th Assembly for the remaining two years.
Today is our last day of sitting, so I would like to let my constituents know some of my plans in the coming weeks. Mr. Speaker, next week, on Tuesday, November 10th, I will be in Fort Resolution with the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment as part of a literacy tour. A few weeks later, I will be in Lutselk’e from November 23rd to 25th to meet with constituents. In December I will be in Fort Resolution from the 14th to the 16th to meet with constituents again.
Mr. Speaker, I will continue to work for the people of Tu Nedhe to ensure that their issues are brought to the attention of this government and to ensure that all that can be done for the people of Tu Nedhe is done.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to also acknowledge the staff here at the Legislative Assembly, people who make our jobs easier in what we do and to support our efforts in assisting our constituents.
Mr. Speaker, I, and all the people of Tu Nedhe, wish you a happy and safe next few months and I hope to be in many of the Tu Nedhe homes in the next little while. I would like to encourage everyone to take extra time travelling on the highways when they are going out on the land and wish for a good, safe holiday season. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
