Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm pleased to stand today to recognize two young people from the Keewatin who are serving as Pages at the Legislative Assembly this week. I would like to introduce to all the Members, Ms. Inukshuk Aksalnik from Rankin Inlet, Jennifer Sheetoga from Whale Cove. They both attend the Maani Ulujuk Secondary School in Rankin where Inukshuk is enrolled in grade 9 and Jennifer is in grade 10.
These young women were selected by the staff and the student council of the Maani Ulujuk School, based on a number of factors including their academic achievement, attendance at school, attitude, willingness and their interest in learning more about how our Legislative Assembly functions -- although sometimes I'm concerned about that.

Like the parents of these young women, Martha Aksalnik of Rankin Inlet, who has been a friend of mine for 25 years, and Philip and Eva Sheetoga of Whale Cove, I am very proud that they've been selected to serve in the Legislative Assembly as Pages. I would ask that you join with me in welcoming these two young students to the House. Thank you.
---Applause
