Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday, as everyone knows was Thanksgiving. In my household, we along with most families across the great country celebrated this holiday in the traditional manner, cooking themselves a turkey and all the trimmings. For me it was a nice relaxing day to be with family and friends. I would like to thank my family and friends for making this the special day that it is. I would like to also wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving.
As some of you heard on the radio this morning, Jean Marie River has now become the latest community to have a full- year-round highway access. Myself, along with my colleague, Levi Barnabas, were fortunate to be able to travel with my colleague the Honourable James Antoine to partake in the grand opening of this new access road. The community has been lobbying the government for many years, and Saturday they were able to realize this dream. I would like to thank the community of Jean Marie River for their hospitality, and the Minister for inviting me to witness this very important event. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
