Member’s Statement On Appreciation To Tu Nedhe Constituents And Supporters

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. (English not provided)

I’d also like to thank all the people in both communities that supported me. In Fort Resolution we had a great team. My campaign manager was Warren Delorme. Today I still work with Warren and his wife, Velma. I had a tremendous amount of support in Fort Resolution, as over 240 of the 290 people that went out to vote in Resolution voted for me. The support I received after being away from the community for so long shows that once you're from Fort Resolution, you're always from Fort Resolution.

On a sad note, five people either from Fort Resolution or originated in Fort Resolution passed away during the two months that I was campaigning in Fort Resolution and Lutselk'e. Their names are Jane Hollands, Elsie Calumet, Gabe Mandeville, George Sayine and Rick Green.

I look forward to working with both Lutselk'e and Fort Resolution over the next four years. I'll be travelling into Fort Resolution next week to host a feast and I will be doing the same in Lutselk'e as soon as I can make arrangements.

My number one priority will continue to be to improve the lives of the youth in Fort Resolution and Lutselk'e.

I'd also like to thank my family for all their support and understanding during the campaign. Thank you.

---Applause
