Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate the Northwest Territories Literacy Council for producing Northern Writes 8 . This publication is a collection of stories and poems written by people in the Northwest Territories. It includes 60 winning stories and poems written by youth and adults living in 18 of the communities. They are written in English, French and Chipewyan. Northern Writes 8 is a good example of one of the ways the Northwest Territories Literacy Council successfully supports and promotes literacy in all of the official languages of the Northwest Territories. Northern Writes 8 is produced in partnership with News-North and the National Literacy Council, and is sponsored by NorthwesTel. I am pleased that four of the winners with entries in Northern Writes 8 are from the Weledeh constituency. I wish today to acknowledge the work of Mary Ann Bromley, Kate Covello, Jaya Bastedo, who had two stories in the publication, one in English and one in French, and Lamisha Bastedo. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
