Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend while the Nunavut leaders met in Cambridge Bay, the next generation of Nunavut leaders, the youth, met in Iqaluit. Mr. Speaker, it is important to note that a jurisdiction, a country, a territory, or a province, is judged by its present and future leadership. Mr. Speaker, Nunavut is blessed with the work and quality of leadership shown by people like Raurri Alsworth and Jimmy Onalik. I invite this House, with the people of the Northwest Territories, to check out a program called the n-files, prepared by the various youth counsels on the present and future view of Nunavut from their perspective. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate our youth for the direction, and as Mr. Onalik demonstrated so ably in Cambridge Bay, wisdom beyond their years. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
