Member Default

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would just like to wish my wife, Mrs. Pokiak, back home all the best for Valentine’s Day, along with my family. It’s really tough being away from home, but we are down here working for the people and representing people of the NWT and our constituents.

I got a call this morning, Mr. Speaker, with regard to a long-time resident of Holman, requesting that I recognize Mr. Gary Bristow, the former mayor of Holman. They will be recognizing him with a supper tonight. On behalf of the people in Holman, Gary Bristow, we wish you the best of luck in the future.

Also, as the Premier said on Friday, Mr. Speaker, I would also like to recognize Mr. Andy Carpenter, Sr., who has done outstanding work for the Inuvialuit, both in negotiating…(inaudible)…with regard to the environment and wildlife. Mr. Carpenter deserves something very special and I wish him well in his endeavours. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
