Thank you, Mr. Nitah. I caution Members that visitors should be in the gallery. However, we will assume they are watching on television today and we wish them a speedy recovery. Item 5, recognition of visitors in the gallery.
Colleagues, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank our pages. I would like to do it now because as the day goes on, the activity of the House may preclude that. We have had with us for the past week the pages serving from the cadets. They come from different parts of the Northwest Territories. I would like to introduce them and their sponsors. Patrick Joss from Holman, a guest of Mr. Steen; Vanessa Grenier from Fort Smith, a constituent of Mr. Miltenberger; Shana Ermatinger from Inuvik, guest of Mr. Allen and Mr. Roland; Jackson Mantla from Rae-Edzo, a guest of Mr. Lafferty; Carl Galle from Fort Simpson, a guest of Mr. Antoine; Karla Lennie from Norman Wells, a guest of Mr. Kakfwi; Sabrina Krivan from Yellowknife, and Vital Manuel.
I would like to say on behalf of all the Members, we appreciate all of your efforts in the past five days. Thank you very much, pages.
-- Applause
I am told this is excellent training as you proceed to become MLAs yourselves later on.
Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Roland.
