Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pride to stand here today to represent the youth of our communities. Especially the kindergarten class of the Chief Julius School of Fort McPherson. Mr. Speaker, the Chief Julius School of Fort McPherson was the first school in the Northwest Territories to send its Christmas decorations to the Legislature to decorate the Christmas trees in the Great Hall.

Mr. Speaker, today I had the honour of decorating one of those trees with decorations from the Chief Julius School, along with myself was Roberta Vaneltsi and her son, Joel, and also his young friend, Alan Pascal. In case people may have forgotten, Roberta Vaneltsi is the young mother who has been fighting to get her children back from the Czech republic for a number of years. I thought it would be a real honour for Roberta and her son to decorate the tree on behalf of the people from Fort McPherson and the children of Chief Julius School. Mr. Speaker, also as part of the decoration, the class of the Chief Julius School, sent a Christmas card to this House. It says, Merry Christmas to the Members of the Legislative Assembly, especially our MLA, David Krutko.
