Thank you, Mr. Speaker. During our break, it was nice to return home to Inuvik and spend time with family and friends, and take part in activities held within the community. Mr. Speaker, over the last few months, we have discussed just about everything this government does or is involved in that revolves around funding. Mr. Speaker, there are many people who go beyond the call of duty. They involve themselves in activities for the young and old alike. For example, Mr. Speaker, they help in jamborees, carnivals, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, coaching and community clean-ups. They are common in every community; even in times of fiscal restraint, they continue with their activities.

Mr. Speaker, they make our communities that much better to live in. For their actions, they might receive a pin or a certificate or sometimes a passing word in a speech. Mr. Speaker, honourable Members, would you join me in showing appreciation for their commitment to the people of the communities of the Northwest Territories? Mr. Speaker, to the volunteers.
