Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is a pleasure today to rise and talk in favour of this motion on behalf of the people of Tu Nedhe. Jim Bourque is a friend of the people of Tu Nedhe. He did serve in the Fort Resolution/Rush River area as a game warden and he tried to help us in as many ways as possible. Once he was the deputy minister of Renewable Resources, he did help us quite a few times. I can remember one time on the Slave River, I had a bush camp up there and Jim Bourque was on his way to Fort Smith from Yellowknife by ski-doo and he stopped there. I was quite surprised to see this guy come up the hill on the cut bank with the ski-doo because he is the only guy I ever saw make a Scandic look like an Elan. He is a very big man, but with a very big heart. Jim Bourque has earned respect from our people by giving our people tough love. That is what I call it because he was no-one to fool around with either. You always took Jim Bourque on his word and he always stuck to his word. The time I saw Jim on the Slave River, he told me, "Don, I am a deputy minister of Renewable Resources. Sometimes, I think that I am a big shot and that is the reason I go on the land. One thing that will slap you back into reality is the Great Slave Lake. Once you get out into the middle of it, it shows you how insignificant you are." Jim always did stay in close touch with the land. I hope now that he will have a lot more time to enjoy going out on the land. I look forward to seeing him out there. I wish him and his wife and the family the best of luck in the future. Thank you.
