Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a sad note to inform this House and many friends and relatives of Charlie Casaway that he passed away earlier this week. Of course, Mr. Casaway was a very well-known athlete from N'dilo. He was originally from Fort Resolution and he transferred to the Yellowknife Dene First Nation many, many years ago. He was seen practically every day on the golf courses for several years, he had won many tournaments and been a top golfer. He also had curled for a long time and was very accomplished at that. Mr Casaway was also a self-taught and well-accomplished fiddle player. He was also a very spiritual man and I am sure all of our prayers go with him.

Mr. Casaway succumbed to a long battle with leukemia. He was first diagnosed when his wife, my aunt Cecilia, was taking social work in Saskatoon about ten years ago, and since that time he has been battling with leukemia and had been very successful at it. I suppose you can call it that. Until very recently he had not really had to go into the hospital. Mr. Speaker, I would like to inform his family and friends who are not aware of it, that the funeral will be held on Saturday at St. Patrick's Church. Thank you.
