Member’s Statement on Condolences to Constituents on the Passing of Family Members

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to start by giving my sincere condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the Nunakput riding and the Beaufort-Delta this past summer.

To the Kisoun-Allen and Hind families of Inuvik, who lost well-respected elder Mr. Victor Allen, Delma Kisoun and daughter Asta Kisoun-Hind, and the Shingatok family, who lost Isaac Shingatok of Inuvik. A well-respected elder, again, was lost with the passing of Billy Day from Inuvik. To the Meyook family, who lost Sara Meyook, a well-respected elder from Aklavik. I’m really going to miss her stories every time I see them. To the Green family, who lost son David Green Jr. To the Ruben family with the passing of Cindy Ruben. Condolences go to Edward and Mabel and family.

My deepest sympathies go to the families who lost loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you for you and your loved ones. Quyanainni, Mr. Speaker.
