Good afternoon. Before I proceed with the orders of the day, I have received the following message from the Honourable Daniel Norris, Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. It reads, "Dear Mr. Speaker, I wish to advise that I recommend to the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories the passage of Bill 25, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 1993-94; Bill 27, Payroll Tax Act, 1993; and Bill 26, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, No. 2, during the Third Session of the 12th Legislative Assembly."

Item 2, Ministers' statements. Item 3, Members' statements. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.
