(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, colleagues. Last year I was able to take part by using mainly Inuktitut and English. This time around, I have been able to use my aboriginal language and I am proud of this. Today, I want to talk about our young people. Mr. Speaker, in the Northwest Territories, our young people are rising in anything they undertake to do. Our young people are also involved in larger conferences that take place in parts of Canada. They will be responsible for running our Nunavut government. Some of them will start in the year 1999 and I am very proud of the fact that young people are getting serious in taking part in running our government. I also want to state this with regards to the young people that their job will not always be very easy, but with hard work they will be able to proceed and achieve their goals. As the Legislative Assembly we have to support the young people's aspirations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
