    Commissioner Ms. Thom

    Please be seated. Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, good afternoon.

    [English translation not provided.]

    It has been a while since I have been here in this great place. I am thankful to see you all again in good health. Mahsi, thank you.

    I would like to take a moment to encourage all residents to honour the dedication, proud service, and the many sacrifices made by current and past members of the Canadian Armed Forces. Remembrance Day is on Sunday, November 11th. I have been invited to Hay River this year to take part in their services, and I look forward to visiting for such an important occasion.

    As this sitting comes to an end, I would like to wish the Members of this House good health, happiness, and prosperity as you enjoy the coming Christmas holiday season with your loved ones.

    I wish you all safe travels on the land, in the air, on the ice, and on our highways as you continue to work together, cooperatively, for the betterment of all residents of the Northwest Territories.
