Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, between May 12 and 15 of this year the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention will hold their annual conference.
Madam Speaker, I believe it is a tribute to the good work and the hard work done on suicide prevention in the Northwest Territories by the Government of the Northwest Territories, by this legislature and by many community groups that has resulted in this very important national association choosing the Northwest Territories to hold their annual conference. This is the first time they have ever held a meeting north of the 60th parallel. I would like to specifically give credit and congratulations to Kanatsiaqtut, the Baffin crisis line, which I believe is the first volunteer crisis line to be established in the Northwest Territories, which was instrumental in securing the invitation to the Canadian association to meet in the Northwest Territories, specifically in Baffin, and is in fact hosting this
conference along with assistance from the Department of Social Services.
Some 300 delegates from all across Canada are expected to attend this important conference, Madam Speaker. I would like to show Members a beautiful...Oh, I have the wrong poster.
---Laughter
It's a beautiful poster. I grabbed the wrong one, Madam Speaker. This is also a conference being held in Iqaluit this summer, but I picked out the wrong one, Madam Speaker.
However, I can say there is a beautiful poster that has been prepared advertising this important conference. I just want to say that I know that the Minister of Social Services has been invited to participate in a panel. I, myself, have been invited. And I believe MLAs have also been invited to attend this important conference. I know you would be welcome if you could find time in your busy schedules to participate in this worthwhile event.
Madam Speaker, I would like to congratulate the group, thank the government for committed and anticipated support, and there is a bit of a list...(Microphone turned off)
