Thank you. Before we go to Members' statements I would like to begin by recognizing the Honourable John Todd, who unfortunately was not present last week when the name plates were presented by the Legislative Assembly to
the eastern Members. This was to recognize their services to the 13th Legislative Assembly. Mr. Todd, you will find your name plate in front of you and our appreciation attached to it. At the same time, Members from the western Northwest Territories will also find their name plates on their desk. This gift from the Legislative Assembly also recognizes your services and commitment to the issues of the continuing 13th Assembly. With that I will continue with the business of the House. Item 3, Members' statements. Mrs. Groenewegen.
