Mr. Speaker, I am rising to announce, with deep regret, that effective today at 5:00 p.m. I will be accepting the resignation from cabinet of the Member for Natilikmiot. I understand that he will be making a statement, but until his replacement is selected the following acting Ministers will be in place: for Renewable Resources, Steve Kakfwi; Government Services, Don Morin; Status of Women, Dennis Patterson.
I would like at this time to ask the Members to join me in sharing your appreciation for the hard work that this Minister has done. Thank you.
--- Applause
