Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Pudluk, the dean of the House, has made a statement. I would like to make a statement on behalf of the Nunavut caucus to congratulate the following members of the executive council of Nunavut Tungavik who were elected yesterday, Mr. Paul Quassa, president, Mr. James Eetoolook, first vice president, Mr. Raymond Ningeocheak, second vice president, and Ms. Bernadette Makpah, secretary-treasurer. These results ensure that persons from all the regions of Nunavut are represented on the executive. I am sure all Members will join me in wishing the new Nunavut Tungavik executive every success and also in thanking all of the other 45 candidates who put their names forward for these positions. The Nunavut caucus will be seeking a meeting with the new executive at the earliest opportunity in order to discuss how we may continue working together towards a successful implementation of the Inuit land claim and Nunavut. Thank you.

---Applause
