Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to one of the oldest elders in the Keewatin region, John Kavik, who died at the age of 97 last Saturday. Mr. Kavik was world famous because of his artistic abilities as a carver, and collectors from museums all over the world have many of his pieces.
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family and in particular to the Udjuk and Twyee families who have been good friends of mine for the last 25 years. Thank you.
