Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon, colleagues. This past weekend the honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. James Rabesca, invited MLAs to his home community for a feast to celebrate the election of Mr. Joe Rabesca as chief. Mr. Speaker, the hospitality shown to myself and Mr. Seamus Henry, the MLA for Yellowknife South, on our visit to Rae was exceptional. The food was second to none and I thoroughly enjoyed the short tour of facilities by the mayor and Deputy Commissioner Dan Marion. Mr. Speaker, I also had an opportunity to meet elder Elizabeth Mackenzie and Chief Rabesca.
Mr. Speaker, these types of events give many of the MLAs a chance to visit and see different communities, East and West. I would like to thank the honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. James Rabesca, for the opportunity to visit Rae and partake of the feast. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
