Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as today is our last sitting day of this session, I want to use my statement to wish my constituents a good spring break. This weekend, Fort Smith will be hosting its annual Wood Buffalo Frolics winter carnival for the first time in three years. The pandemic shut out this festival for two years, and this year the event will be organized by a new set of individuals from years past.
In addition, Mr. Speaker, I would like to wish all my colleagues a good and restful break from this House until the May sitting. I know that as Members we will not always agree on all things that come before us, but that does not mean we become enemies and work against one another. As Members of this House, we must always strive to put differences aside and work together in the best interests of our constituents and all the people of the NWT. That is how a healthy and functioning democracy works.
Also, to any of my colleagues who wish to visit Fort Smith at any time, I want to assure you that you will be treated like royalty. That is the courtesy which I extend to all holders of any public office or any dignitaries visiting Fort Smith. My family and my community and I always welcome all visitors to our community with open arms.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, I want to wish all the amazing constituents of Thebacha a happy and healthy spring break. I know the effects of the pandemic are still present in our lives in various ways. But I hope we can begin to put all that behind us and move forward in a new and positive direction as a community.
Also, as always, I would like to wish my community team a special thank you. They know who they are. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member for Thebacha. Members' statements. Member for Yellowknife North.
