Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I as well would like to take this opportunity in this House to reflect briefly on Remembrance Day and its importance in my community, in this Territory and across our land.

Mr. Speaker, like my colleague, Mr. Delorey, I will be returning home to my community for the first time in about two weeks. Tomorrow is a very important day for us, as it will be for many others. There are many people in our community who served in the armed forces in World War II, in Korea, and other conflicts since then, and continue to serve with honour and distinction across the land for the benefit of all of us.

As we stand in this House debating issues and raising issues in a democratic process in a free and open way, it is because of the sacrifices that these folks made on our behalf that we are able to do that. I think that it is very important never to forget the contribution, blood and sacrifice that people put out so that we in fact have the privilege to have this type of government, to raise issues in a careful way, in a good way without bloodshed. I think we should all take time to honour those people and never, never forget. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
