Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On December 17, 1994, I had the pleasure in joining Attogoyuk School students on their graduation ceremony. This was a very special graduation ceremony in more ways than one. Pangnirtung had the highest number of graduates in the Baffin communities. The graduating class was a total of 11. For all of the graduates, it was an especially happy occasion, and for the parents and their teachers. The ceremony was special as one of the graduates, Eena Daisy Sowdluapik, was one of the graduates who received the Governor General's award for top academics in the NWT.
Although I have already stated how proud I am of her and her graduating colleagues, I would once again like to say congratulations to Eena Daisy Sowdluapik and how proud I am of her for having top academics, and to thank her parents for the effort, encouragement and guidance they provided to their daughter.
Mr. Speaker, I wanted to share this good news from my riding with my colleagues, and to encourage the students across the NWT and their parents that hard work pays off in the end. Qujannamiik.
