Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to speak on an event that happened in Fort Simpson on November 14th. Mr. Speaker, some time ago through this Legislative Assembly process there was a certain community hall that there was a lot of controversy in this House about. Finally on November 14th we completed it and had an official opening in Fort Simpson.

Even though it is a long struggle working with the Members in this House, I would like to thank all the Members for finally seeing what we are trying to do in Fort Simpson and allowing us to continue building a facility that is going to be enjoyed and utilized by the citizens in Fort Simpson as a community. Finally, we have a space large enough that we can put a lot of people in there collectively and the elders and people who are handicapped that will have access to a place in Fort Simpson where we all could get together and gather like in so many other communities in the north. With that, I would like to thank the Legislative Assembly for that. Thank you.
