Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I use my Member’s statement to congratulate the graduates of the two high schools in Hay River. We have four graduates at Ecole Boreale and 38 graduates at Diamond Jenness Secondary School. Both of these grad ceremonies will take place next weekend and I will be able to attend both of them, so I’m looking forward to that.
It’s an exciting time for these youth, and I urge these youth to continue to learn, continue to educate yourself depending on where your specialties lie, whether that’s in a trade or whether that’s getting a degree or just learning some sort of certification. Life is an education, like the Minister of the Department of Education indicated today, and continue to learn.
I’d like them to enjoy their ceremonies, but make sure that they’re safe out there. Make sure there’s no alcohol involved, no drinking and driving.
I’d also at this time like to congratulate some of my former graduates of 1987, who graduated 25 years ago on June 26, 1987. We graduated 25 years ago and we’ve spread out through the country. So I congratulate everybody. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Moses.
