Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the national biathlon championships were held in Canmore, Alberta from March 9 to 12, 1995. I would like to congratulate Cathy Ayalik, Paul Green, Ian Elsy and Mary Beth Miller, our biathlon team, on their strong showing at this competition:
- Cathy Ayalik from Yellowknife captured two silver medals in the 30 plus category for her performance in the 10-kilometre individual race and the 7.5-kilometre sprint.
- Yellowknife's Mary Beth Miller, fresh from her appearance at the Canada Winter Games, finished 14th overall in the junior women's category.
- Hay River's Paul Green placed seventh in the open men's class.
- Yellowknife's Ian Elsy did well for his first competition at this level.
Mr. Speaker, I am sure our Members will join me in congratulating our NWT biathlon member for their fine performance at the national biathlon championships. Thank you.
---Applause
