Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to add my words of praise to the Government Leader's for the new Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, there are a great many reasons for selecting Helen Maksagak of Cambridge Bay as the Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. She has been very active in church groups. She ran a successful foster home with her husband, John, for many years. She is a member of the social assistance appeal committee, the housing association, the drug and alcohol board of directors, and many, many other support groups.
Helen Maksagak is also a very warm human being who treats each and every person with compassion and makes them all feel very special. But, the most important reason why I think Helen Maksagak is a wonderful choice forDdeputy Commissioner is that she is my aunt.
