Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak about a good friend of mine. His Worship Larry Aknavigak took office as mayor of Cambridge Bay in January of 1994. Recently, on February 16th, he resigned to assume his new full-time responsibilities as chairman of the Nunavut Impact Review Board. At this time, on behalf of my constituents and myself, I would like to thank him for his contribution and service to the residents of Cambridge Bay and the region. In establishing an excellent working relationship that I have had with him, I would like to recognize him sitting in the gallery and ask Members to join me in wishing him all the best in his new capacity as well.
Finally, I would like to wish the new mayor of Cambridge Bay, Mr. Michael O'Gorman, best success in his endeavours. I hope that I will be able to establish just as good a relationship with him as I was able to with the former mayor. Thank you.
---Applause
