David Krutko Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a good news, bad news, statement. First the good news, Mr. Speaker. I would like to congratulate my niece, Alayna Krutko of Fort Providence, who received the Commissioner's Award for bravery which was presented to her on Saturday.

--Applause.

This is an award which is given to an individual who shows acts of bravery. Alayna saved another young person from downing in the Mackenzie River.

My other statement, Mr. Speaker, is in regard to a close friend of mine, Clifford Francis, who lost his life tragically yesterday in Fort McPherson. Mr. Francis was in the prime of his life. He was trying to take steps to represent his community by serving time on the hamlet and band councils. He was a CARS operator in Fort McPherson.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to send my condolences out to the Francis family of Fort McPherson, and especially his common-law wife, Karen Collet, and his brothers and sisters. Thank you.
