Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too rise today to thank the Members from Nunavut as well as Mr. Hamilton, who has been a guiding hand for all of us. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for the many times he has given us guidance when we really needed it and a lot of times when some hotheads were going at it.
Mr. Speaker, as people have said, this is a historic occasion. Our Members from Nunavut are going to their own Legislature. To those who have been elected as Ministers, or back to the Legislature, I congratulate you and I wish you all the best. The last time we were together I had made a much more extensive statement and at this time I just wanted to wish everybody all the best over there. We did go through a lot of trying times together. For those of you who were new Members we learned together. Like some people like to say, we cried together and we laughed together. I will certainly remember those times and the friendship that we have enjoyed, and I hope that we continue to enjoy in the future. Thank you.
