Good afternoon, colleagues. I would like to make a little statement about Seniors Week. As a "senior" Member, or at least the eldest MLA present in the House, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge Senior Citizens Week. June 18 to 24, 2000, has been proclaimed Senior Citizens Week by the Honourable Vince Steen, Minister responsible for Seniors.
It is a time to recognize and honour seniors in the Northwest Territories and all over. I would like the contributions of seniors and elders to be acknowledged and to promote positive attitudes towards seniors and elders.
Activities for Seniors Week will be held throughout the Northwest Territories this week. I encourage everyone to get involved in Seniors Week events in their community. Elders are one of our most valuable resources. Let us celebrate them.
-- Applause
Orders of the day. Item 2, Ministers' statements. Item 3, Members' statements. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Mr. Dent.
