Mr. Clerk, will you ascertain if the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, the Honourable George L. Tuccaro, is prepared to enter the Chamber and assent to bills?
Colleagues, it has been our usual busy winter session. You have considered budget matters, reviewed legislation and debated numerous motions. I appreciate your attention and dedication to this important work.
Before we leave today, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Pages who have worked with us during this sitting. Thanks for doing an excellent job.
Colleagues, our caterer for some years, Ms. Putte Nielson, is leaving us at the end of this month. On behalf of all Members and staff, I would like to thank Putte for her services and extend our best wishes. We will miss her excellent cooking.
Finally, colleagues, there are two events that I wish to bring to your attention.
First, I want to remind all Members of the 2015 Youth Parliament, which will take place May 4th to the 7th. It is always such a pleasure to see our young people participate in this unique learning opportunity. I look forward to meeting the 2015 Youth Parliamentarians and invite all Members to join me.
Secondly, please note that May 26th is the date this Assembly has set side to recognize as a National Day of Healing and Reconciliation. This is an important day for the Northwest Territories as many of our communities come together to continue to support the collective healing and reconciliation process.
Colleagues, spring is arriving early – not early, it’s still pretty cold out there – but the days are growing longer and it is a particularly beautiful time in our communities. I hope everyone has some time to get out on the land and enjoy traditional spring activities with family and friends.
To all residents of the Northwest Territories, I urge you to take care and to travel safely at this time of year. I wish everyone a good break with a chance to get out and see your constituents.
I look forward to meeting again in this Chamber in May.
