Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This latest award that Roderick has received is in addition to a growing list of awards and commendations. Including, but not limited to, the Peter Lougheed's Scholarship, the Shell Scholarship in Engineering, the Tom Chambers Award, the Dean Research Award in Chemical and Mineral Engineering, the Charles Noble Award for student leadership, the Golden Geer Award for outstanding contribution of engineering students, and the NWT Scholarship from the Association of Professional Engineers and Geophysicists. That is a long list and Roderick is also an accomplished musician.

We often wait for special occasions to recognize contributions of our constituents, but I thought it would be appropriate to remind ourselves today that although assisted by exceptional parents as tutors and mentors, the Gonzales' children were born, raised and educated in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
