Good afternoon. I wish to inform the House that I have received the following message from His Honour, the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories: "Please be advised that I wish to recommend to the 12th Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories the passage of the following bill: Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Insurance Act. Yours truly, D.L. Norris, Commissioner."
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize visitors from the Province of Alberta, who are seated in the Speaker's Gallery. First, a friend who has visited us on many occasions, the Hon. Dr. David Carter, Member for Egmont.

He is accompanied to Yellowknife by his wife, Mrs. Jean Carter, who is not here in the House today. Also with the Speaker are four interns from the Alberta Legislative Assembly's internship program. They are: Laurie McKay, Jason Foster, Mark Patton, and Greg Moffat.

Welcome to our Legislative Assembly. Orders of the day for Tuesday, February 18, 1992. Item 2, Ministers' statements. Mr. Kakfwi.
