Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, good afternoon.
I look forward to attending the 2018 Arctic Winter Games in Hay River and Fort Smith next week. I am already so proud of our Team NWT athletes and coaches, in how they have performed during their trials to qualify in their respective events, and in how I know they will conduct themselves with respect and good sportsmanship as representatives and ambassadors for the Northwest Territories.
I would also like to extend a huge mahsi cho and acknowledge the dedicated volunteers, coaches, parents, and families who have all worked so hard to support our NWT athletes and to make these games the huge success that I know I am sure they will be.
I would like to wish good luck and safe travels to all of our athletes as they compete at the Arctic Winter Games. I will be one of their best "cheerleaders." Now, as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following Bills:
• Bill 10, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 4, 2017-2018;
• Bill 11, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2017-2018; and
• Bill 12, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Operations Expenditures), No. 1, 2018-2019.
Thank you, quyanainni, merci beaucoup, mahsi cho, koana.
