Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a recent article in the Hub announcing BHP's choice of Yellowknife for the diamond sorting and valuation facility had a little final paragraph that suggested that I had a testy working relationship with senior Members of this government. Mr. Speaker, this comment was not substantiated with a quote or reference of any kind. However, Mr. Speaker, on the contrary, I feel I have a good working relationship with our Ministers. Since the last sitting of this Legislature, I believe I have had the pleasure of hosting most of them in my community. I have had the pleasure of Mr. Kakfwi attending the Annual General Meeting of the Northwest Territories Fisherman's Federation, where Mr. Kakfwi expressed this government's continued concern and support for the commercial fishing industry on Great Slave Lake. Mr. Antoine attended as we held two meetings on the Constitutional Working Group, one in Enterprise and one in Hay River, which were well attended and a lot of interest was shown. Just this week, Minister Ng met with our hospital CEO and board chairman over lunch with myself, and we had a chance to discuss health related issues in Hay River. Minister Thompson and Premier Morin attended in my riding just this week to meet with the residents of Enterprise and, although, we would always wish to meet with our constituents under happy circumstances, there are challenging problems, but I do thank them very much for taking time from
their busy schedules to attend in my riding. Of course, Mr. Speaker, as one of my neighbouring MLAs drops by quite frequently when we take a few minutes and go for lunch or have a coffee. It was only earlier this spring, when Mr. Todd graced us with his presence at the NWT Chamber of Commerce banquet as our guest speaker. I believe Mr. Arlooktoo did pass through, although visiting Mr. Speaker's riding, he was through Hay River just recently. What I would like to say, Mr. Speaker, is that I do continue to enjoy good working relationship with our Cabinet. I do support the work they do and appreciate very much the attention, they pay to my riding. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
