Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too was saddened to hear of the passing of Leah Nutaraq. When we were opening the elders' centre in Iqaluit, Mr. Patterson and I went over to greet the elders, and she was there. When she met me she said, "You are a Minister?" She was really surprised and then she said, "Are you a real Minister? I have never seen my people at that level." She told me that I should be kind to other people and she also said, "Make sure that our people govern our land." She was well over 100 years old at that time and she told me the land that once belonged to my people does not, under the law, belong to our people. She said, "Make sure we get it back." That was all she said and we had a great time at the opening of the elders' centre. Thank you.
