Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Caribou Carnival which took place over the past weekend allowed my family and I to really enjoy what Yellowknife has to offer. We saw creative arts, sampled some fine foods, outdoor style and met people. Mr. Speaker, the highlight for me was seeing children enthusiastically walking, running, smiling and the laughter which echoed like the sound of spring. After we came home from the Caribou Carnival site, my grandson fell on the

couch and dozed off still smiling. I am sure he speaks for all of the other children, the smile which makes the difference. To the people of Yellowknife, the city of Yellowknife and the organizers, I say thank you very much for a job well done.
