Mr. Speaker, as part of the Aboriginal Achievement Awards, 1000 aboriginal students from across Alberta were gathered in Calgary earlier this month for a career trade show. The 14 recipients of the achievement awards were asked to speak to the students about their lives, about issues important to them and, in some cases, to demonstrate their talents. Mr. Kiawak Ashoona constituent of mine from Cape Dorset who received an achievement award, was asked to demonstrate to these young people how he carves and to talk about how he is inspired to create something so beautiful from a piece of soapstone. The carving you see here in the Chamber today, is a result of that.
