Bill 1 has had third reading. Item 21, third reading of bills. Prior to asking Her Honour, the Commissioner, to enter the Chamber, I would like to say a few words.

Speaker's Closing Remarks

We have all come through a very busy time with the general election, orientation, territorial leadership, selection of a new capital for Nunavut and the development of our common agenda. It will be nice to go home to our families and friends. I would also like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation and I'm sure all of yours for the never-ending and tireless assistance that has been provided by the Clerk and his staff during our orientation and the first sitting of this Legislature.

---Applause

I think it was one of the staff who drafted this.

As we leave today, I wish each and everyone of you a safe journey home, and may the joy and spirit of the Christmas season be with you and your family. I hope that 1996 will bring peace and understanding to all our people. God bless. Mahsi cho.
