Thank you, Madam Speaker. There was much talk about reducing the reliance on government and the reliance on social assistance, especially for young people.

Madam Speaker, I want to extend my congratulations to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. I think this is one of the first major events they have organized, other than ceremonies celebrating the signing of the land claim agreement. I especially want to congratulate their economic advisor, Mr. Tagak Curley who organized this meeting, for pulling off a very successful, productive conference. I would also like to thank the Honourable John Todd, his department and the Government of the Northwest Territories for major financial support, along with many important corporate sponsors.

Madam Speaker, I look forward to receiving the economic strategy document which will result from this conference. It is expected to be released by the end of this year. Qujannamiik.

---Applause
