Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, (Translation) I would like to say something in my own language. Last week we had a little bit of time, so we spent three days in Fort Simpson. There are a lot of communities that I am MLA for. There are six communities that I represent in the Deh Cho region. I do not get an opportunity to travel back to the Deh Cho region a lot, so the three days that I spent there I appreciated. I spent two nights in Fort Liard and whoever wanted to meet with me, I had a chance to meet with them. If I have an opportunity in the future I will go back there and meet with more people.

In Fort Simpson we had a constituency meeting. There were a lot of people that attended that meeting. I explained what this new government is all about. There were a lot of questions and a lot of people went to these meetings. I had a chance to explain a little bit of our new government, so it was a worthwhile meeting.

There was also a leadership meeting a while ago I had a chance to attend, I was invited by the chiefs to that meeting, so I attended it for a while. There were a few things of concern that they raised and I was thankful I attended that meeting. Over the last three days I spent in the Deh Cho region I went to see three communities, so I still have three more communities to visit. The next time I go back there I will visit the remaining three communities. Thank you. (Translation ends)
