    Tony Whitford Commissioner Of The Northwest Territories

    Please be seated. [English translation not provided.]

    Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker and Members of our Legislative Assembly, as most of you know, I enjoy visiting the people of our many communities. I will use every opportunity to visit your constituencies and to accept as many invitations as possible that may be extended by the honourable Members of this House. For example, I have been invited to attend the Wood Buffalo Frolics in Fort Smith this weekend and I leave tomorrow for that.

    Later this month, I plan to visit most of the schools in the Sahtu when I make a tour of the region by ice road; wind and weather permitting, of course.

    I wish each Member of this House safe travels and a busy, productive time as you continue to work for the people of the Northwest Territories.

    Now, as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bills:

    • Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Historical Resources Act

    • Bill 3, International Interests in Mobile Aircraft Equipment Act

    • Bill 4, Public Library Act

    • Bill 5, Professional Corporations Act

    • Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Student Financial Assistance Act

    • Bill 8, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2008-2009

    • Bill 9, Northern Employees Benefits Services Pension Plan Protection Act

    • Bill 16, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2009-2010

    Thank you. Merci beaucoup. Mahsi cho. Koana.
