Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to be sounding just like my colleague pretty soon.

Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, Fort Smith hosted the Northwest Territories Juno Award recipient, Susan Aglukark. Susan sang for the students last Thursday afternoon. The two schools, Joseph Burr Tyrrell and PWK, were entertained by Susan. There were a total of 600 to 700 students that she entertained.

Joseph Burr Tyrrell and PWK, opposed to setting a fee for this concert, decided to request contributions towards a food bank which I believe was set for a very good cause and I would like to commend them for such an initiative. In the evening, Susan sang at the McDougal Centre and certainly sang for a full house.

I want to take the time, Mr. Speaker, to thank Pat Burke for all his work. I commend him for taking on the task and coordinating such an initiative which was enjoyed by all of Fort Smith residents. I also want to take the time to thank Social Services for their funding contribution from the youth fund to be able to allow these students to listen to Susan singing. We all know Susan Aglukark is a role model for the youth of the Northwest Territories and, as previously stated, an excellent ambassador for the Northwest Territories. Fort Smith was very proud to host Susan Aglukark, and welcomes her to come back to our community as soon as she can. Thank you.
