Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to take the opportunity, today, to thank my colleagues who attend the luncheon that I hosted.
Mr. Speaker, last month I invited Mrs. Jean Dube, who is an elder in our community. Mrs. Dube is well known for the work that she has done, not only with muskox, but with wild meat, and particularly, the work that she has done with spices.
Mrs. Dube had a display for the Members to see how we can use muskox to its fullest potential, with no waste whatsoever. There was a display of soap, which is used from the fat. There was a display of canned muskox, along with muskox to eat. In addition, she had a variety of spices that she has worked on for fish, fowl, and wild meat.
I want to particularly thank the Honourable John Pollard for attending the luncheon to recognize the economic potential of such development for one of our resources. It is unfortunate that the Minister of Renewable Resources was unable to attend.
It is my pleasure, on behalf of Mrs. Dube, to provide each of the Members with a can of muskox, and also a small package of some of the spices that she has developed. I am sure Members will enjoy it. Thank you.
