Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize two individuals who have assisted this government greatly over the last few months in preparing for Nunavut and the legislation we are dealing with today. Ms. Margot Engley is legal counsel for Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated and she is in the gallery. As well, Ms. Susan Hardey, legal counsel for the Office of the Interim Commissioner and the Nunavut Department of Justice. Thank you.
