Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My statement is concerning the constitutional package that was released very recently, and which has been put forward for the public to look at, and to comment upon.

...except for when they are snoring. I would also like to thank Bill Erasmus for taking the heat off me. He was the only person who was consistently arriving later than I was.
---Laughter.
I would also like to thank Jane Groenewegen for being there. She was also very quiet. Jane, it is hard to be heard from the hallways or your office.
---Laughter.
I would also like to thank the Honourable Stephen Kakfwi, for contributing greatly to the unity of the working group by not coming to the meetings.
---Laughter.
I would also like to thank Bob Simpson. People wonder why a non-aboriginal person represented the Gwich'in Tribal Council and the Inuvialuit. All I know is they call him Gwich'in Bob.
---Laughter.
Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to continue my statement.
