Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Premiers arrive, I believe, on a Friday and the conference is over on a Saturday. It is usually a two-day conference. We are sending out invitations. The Northwest Territories is a host for this conference, so I am trying to make sure it is a Northwest Territories event that includes people from clear across the Northwest Territories, not just the capital city. That is very important. I have sent out invitations already. I believe my wife has sent out invitations as well to all the chiefs' wives. I have sent out invitations to the chiefs, the Metis local presidents, the Dene Nation, the Metis Nation, NTI and mayors. I am sure I forgot some but just about to every elected leader in the Northwest Territories to come to the conference as well as their spouses. We have it organized fairly well. We have the greatest of respect for Darlene Mandeville, who is organizing it. She seems to be doing a very good job, so I am sure it will be a great event, and I am sure northerners will come out and enjoy meeting the western Premiers. This is the first time we are ever hosting a Western Premiers' Conference in the Northwest Territories. It will also be the last time as the Northwest Territories exists today. We will be hosting again in six years. We are on that rotation list. MLAs will be getting invitations as well and feel free to attend. We will not be paying your way or anybody's way. Your wives and husbands will be getting invitations as well. Thank you.
