Thank you, Mr. Speaker and good afternoon colleagues. Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk a bit about a Community Justice Conference that is going to be happening on the dates of February 18, 19, 20 and 21. The Community Justice Conference is going to be held in Cape Dorset and my communities of Pangnirtung and Broughton Island have been invited to go to that conference, and also myself.
Mr. Speaker, I would like the communities of Pangnirtung and Broughton Island to know that, as much as I would like to be at that conference, I feel that it is my duty to be here in Yellowknife during the budget process. Mr. Speaker, I would like them to know that they have my full support, even though I am not going to be there on those dates. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
