Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Welcome back colleagues. I would like to take this opportunity in this current session to express a variety of issues and concerns that occurred in my recent visit to my constituency. Some of the issues relate to issues I have addressed before in this House. They are just problems in regard to the education system, the whole area of housing delivery and the area of health care, especially in the Mackenzie Delta riding.

Another issue that came to light was the whole problem with youth, youth initiatives and youth programs. The Tl'oondih Healing Program was one of the issues I had to deal with and the whole area of community transfers. There is the issue of related job creation opportunities in my riding, which are very few, if not, nil.

Other major concerns, my riding has, are in relation to the priorities of this government, especially when it comes to the health and well-being of my constituents, in relation to the whole water problem, which is still a problem in Fort McPherson and also has been raised as a concern in Aklavik. This issue, I thought was a priority of this government, but yet I will stand here again and again and raise it time and time again. I was approached by union members on the whole question of pay equity and exactly how this schedule came about. With that, I will be raising these concerns and issues in this session. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
