Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, honourable Members. This morning, I would like to speak about people travelling on the land. This time of year, there are many people who prepare for spring out on the land, travelling and taking part in their traditional activities. Many people from my riding in the Inuvik area and the Delta at this time of year, prepare and are travelling to their camps and will stay out at their camps for the spring break-up.
This time of year is also dangerous during the spring breakup. I would like to send to the people travelling out on the land a message of safety to prepare well because we can never tell what Mother Nature will do.
I also have my parents travelling out on the land preparing for such a time of year. I have relatives back home doing the same thing. I wish them the safe spring season and hunt. I would also like to send greetings back to my family in Inuvik. Thank you.
