Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I’d like to thank Mildred Hall School choir for singing O Canada in the Chamber today, and I look forward to listening later in the Great Hall to the Yellowknife Choral Society’s rendition as well.
Mr. Speaker, as we heard from you, this Sunday, February 15th, will mark a unique day in our history. As mentioned, not only is this day our annual National Flag Day of Canada but it also represents an incredible milestone. Our flag is turning the big 5-0. It is without a doubt, our Canadian flag is an admired symbol that unites all Canadians from… [English translation not provided.]
It is recognized both at home and abroad representing a country of peace, prosperity and generosity of spirit.
I am happy to see in the House today that our NWT Legislative Assembly recognizes our national symbol of unity and keeps our annual tradition during our winter session.
With Valentine’s Day just the day before, I know there will be lots of love left spilling over for all Canadians to share in celebration.
Therefore, I want to wish all Range Lake residents, all Northerners, all Canadians a special National Flag Day this Sunday in celebration of our symbol of pride and what makes us truly unique around the globe. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. The Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.
