Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to begin the Session by addressing an issue I ended the last Session with. That is acknowledging the 100 year centenary in Fort Resolution by the Akaitcho Treaty 8 communities of Yellowknife, Lutselk'e and Tu Nedhe. I would like to congratulate the organizing committee and the community for doing such a great job with organizing this event.

Like you, Mr. Speaker, many of our colleagues in this House attended this ceremony. I would like to thank you and all my colleagues, along with other dignitaries such as Mr. Robert Nault, Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs; our representative in Ottawa, Ms. Ethel Blondin-Andrew, and all the other dignitaries - I do not have time to mention their names.

The significant thing that happened during that time was the signing of the Framework Agreement between the federal, territorial and Akaitcho governments on how to proceed in the negotiation process for the Akaitcho Territory.

I wish them all luck in concluding that very important work that they are doing and congratulate them on work they have done to date. I would also like to congratulate and thank the individuals in the community of Lutselk'e and Yellowknife for paddling the traditional route from their respective communities to Deninu Ku, as they did 100 years ago. It was a safe and exciting trip for all, and I would like to congratulate and thank them as well.

In Lutselk'e, they had another successful year in their spiritual gathering in Fort Reliance. I would like to congratulate them as well. I would also like to acknowledge all the young kids out there today. Have a great and a safe Halloween. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
