Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I too would like to congratulate the winners who were elected in the Inuvik municipal election yesterday. The mayor who was re-elected is Tom Zubko. The councillors who were re-elected are Richard Barnes, Alan Davis, Dennie Lennie, Floyd Roland and Bob Simpson. And the newly elected councillors are Vivian Hunter, Harry Joujan and Julian Tomlinson.

I would like to congratulate these elected people, and I would like to congratulate the other people who ran and who weren't successful. But the spirit of democracy is still alive and well, and people still get a chance to put their X on ballots to choose the people they wish to represent them for the next few years.

I would also like to congratulate the appointees to the community education council. They provide a valuable service to the community of Inuvik and I wish them all well.

Again, I want to continue the work that I've been doing with the Inuvik town council and hope that our relationships prosper and Inuvik prospers with us. Mahsi cho.

---Applause
