Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to today acknowledge the performing talent here in the Northwest Territories, and the CBC for helping to promote the many people that are so talented throughout the north, giving them the opportunity to be able to broadcast and spread word of their songs and entertainment.
This morning I was listening to the radio while I was shaving and Charlie Panagoniak came on with his very talented and uplifting song, Squirrels. To me it is uplifting, I do not understand Inuktitut, but it was a very uplifting, catchy tune. To me, it set the tone for the day, Mr. Speaker. I want to state that to all you people out there that perform, and to CBC, thank you for allowing our talented people to develop their talent.
Charlie Panagoniak dates back to the 1970s. All of us have heard of him before and have seen him entertain. He is a wonderful entertainer. Thank you very much, Charlie.
