Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is with great pleasure I recognize Mr. Neil Pascal. Neil spent the last three years in Nunavut, two and a half years in Cambridge Bay as a regional superintendent to personnel. Then, when the government decided to do away with the Department of Personnel, Neil joined the Kitikmeot Health and Social Services Board as manager of personnel. Neil spent the last eight months with the Office of the Interim Commissioner where he assisted the Nunavut government in their staffing requirements for the new public service. I am fortunate to have Neil as my constituency assistant. Neil is a beneficiary of the Gwich'in land claim. He brings experience in human resource management, and as well, experience working with various aboriginal organizations and groups across the Northwest Territories, as well as in the Yukon. Mr. Speaker, there are people like Neil who will certainly bring credibility to the bureaucracy of our public service. Mr. Speaker, please assist me in welcoming Neil as my new constituency assistant. Welcome back to the west, Neil.
