Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm very pleased to be able to stand in the House today and pay tribute to a young woman from Keewatin who has taken, in my opinion anyway, the country by storm. I'm, of course, referring to Susan Aglukark. The people in the Keewatin and the Northwest Territories...

...have known for a long time how talented this young woman is. It seems that the rest of Canada is now beginning to fully realize the depth of her talent. Last night, Susan was awarded a Juno for the best solo artist award in Canada. At the same time, her album Arctic Rose took the Juno for the best music of aboriginal Canada.
---Applause
Mr. Speaker, the Junos recognize the best of Canada's musical talent. As a double winner, Susan joins a select and talented group that includes artists such as Jann Arden and Celine Dion. What pleases me most, Mr. Speaker, is that aside from the fact that she is very talented, Susan has also been a great model for our youth and a tremendous ambassador for the Northwest Territories. I hope that all the Members will join me in offering congratulations to Susan on her success, and long may it continue. Thank you.
