Thank you. Before we ask the Clerk for the Orders of the Day, I would like to wish members and their families the best this holiday season. This is the time for members to go home and spend time with their families and friends, enjoying the happiness and the celebration that comes with this time of year.
We have had to make some difficult decisions during the last year and it does not get any easier from here on either. Members may be feeling that they have not been able to get all they wanted for their constituency. Or that the Grinch stole away some of their Capital projects. But do not despair if you do not find much in Santa's sock for your constituency this year.
Santa Claus has remembered us. A constituent of the High Arctic, even Santa Claus, has not escaped the cut backs. Members should also keep in mind that it is not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. I am sure you are high on the lists of the ministers in their thoughts that is. Also remember, good things come in small packages and good things come to those who wait.
I would like to extend Season's Greetings to all and all the best in the New Year to the members, their families, the staff of the Legislative Assembly, the Cafeteria staff, the Hansard, and the Government of the Northwest Territories employees. People across the North, Canada, and the world. Have a safe and happy holiday. Mahsi Cho.
Mr. Clerk, Orders of the Day.
