Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. Mr. Speaker, in November of 1997, I had the honour of attending the Adult Community Training Program in Taloyoak. At that location we talked about the government structure, and I found the students to be very enthusiastic and very willing for preparing for Nunavut come 1999. At that time, I was approached by the teacher and by the students of their interests in attending the Legislative Assembly. I have a letter here from that group dated November 26, 1997. Sometimes I am a little slow to respond to things. This was misplaced in my office, I apologize to the group. Their goal is to observe the Legislature in session and secondly to work in a legislative office as an extension of our practice. The method they wish to do this thing and to accomplish our goal, we are planning a trip to Yellowknife, March/April, 1998. We are involved in fund-raising to help cover the costs. We are approaching our council, Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated, First Air and other organizations that provide services within our community for financial aid. We know there are times, even though we approach many organizations, bodies and such and stuff like that, there are times we are not able to get all the help that we may require. By that, I would like to solicit Members and the government and other business groups in the business community to help out as much as possible in making this trip a dream, a realization for the people/students of Taloyoak. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
