Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give results on the 105-mile world championship race in The Pas, Manitoba. Mr. Speaker, unfortunately this race was halted after two days because of bad temperatures. It was not because the temperatures were too harsh. It was because the temperatures had warmed up and there was considerable slush on the course which froze in the evening. It was considered dangerous conditions. After two days, the race was halted. I would like to give a summary of the Northwest Territories entrants. After two days, the final results are: in second place was Frank Kelly from Yellowknife, in fourth place was Richard Beck from Yellowknife, in fifth place was Grant Beck from Yellowknife, in seventh place was Raymond Beck from Hay River; in eighth place was Arthur Beck from Hay River; in tenth place was Heather Beck from Yellowknife, in 12th place was Joe Hickes from Baker Lake, in 13th place was Danny Beck from Hay River and 15th place was Henry Landry from Kakisa. There were a few people who did not finish, Sam Perrino from Yellowknife as well as Ernie Campbell from Yellowknife. Mr. Speaker, I am sure everybody in the Legislature here joins me in congratulating everyone who competed in this particular race. We wish them all the best in their southern tour. Thank you.
