Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to add my comments to other Honourable Members about our friend, Jim Bourque. Mr. Speaker, one of the things that sticks out about Mr. Bourque is what a great ambassador he has been for the Northwest Territories, in Canada and internationally. This was recognized last year with his appointment to the Privy Council of Canada - a great honour. I think of the very effective work he has done in dealing with the animal rights movement, by presenting very effectively the point of view of our people. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Bourque while I was in government. I was most impressed with his commitment to sustainable development or, as Jim would say, "the wise use of our resources" and with his pride in our people and his loyalty to our government. For that we are all grateful. I wish him every success in future endeavours, Mr. Speaker. Qujannamiik.
