Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In recognition of Education Week, which is coming up from March 16th to 22nd, I would like to take this opportunity to inform the House of the outstanding record of service from the teachers in the community of Hay River. I had research check this out for me and we have 53 public school teachers in Hay River and their accumulated years of service in Hay River is 630 years amongst 53 teachers. That speaks very well of their commitment to education arid their commitment to Hay River. So I would like to recognize them today and I would also like to offer congratulations to Ms. Pat Thomas who is the recently newly-elected president of the Northwest Territories Teachers' Association.
