Colleagues, before we move into Committee of the Whole, it is with great sadness that I advise Members that our former Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and former Premier of Alberta, Mr. Jim Prentice, died in a tragic plane crash last night. Mr. Prentice was a frequent visitor to, and a friend of the North. On behalf of all Members, I wish to express our sincere condolences to Mr. Prentice's many friends and family at this difficult time. Masi.
