Thank you, Mr. Speaker, honourable Members. I believe he has treated my constituency the same as all others, no better, no worse.

But, my ache-y, break-y heart just will not let me...

---Laughter

...put up with that sorrowful look he has whenever he walks by Mr. Whitford's moose hair picture!

So, for this reason, I would like to present the Minister for Tu Nedhe with a beautiful set of moose hair pictures.

Of course, Mr. Speaker, I would have preferred to present this gift during a ministerial visit to one of my communities, but I cannot wait forever!

---Applause

Further, Mr. Speaker, I want to be clear that, in expressing my appreciation, I do not anticipate any special favours nor special consideration for my constituency.

I would hope that, during the next four years as a Member, I will eventually have an opportunity to share these famous examples of Dene art with other Ministers or Members who wish to visit the communities of Deh Cho. Also, I do not wish a sudden rush of Ministers or Members to come. With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I would like to make the presentation.

---Laughter

With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I would ask the Minister, Mr. Morin, to come and accept this present. Thank you.
