Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this morning, I would like to introduce or re-introduce Chief Robert Sayine of Deninu Ku'e First Nations.

I wish to extend my congratulations to him and I look forward to working with him and the council. As all of you know, or probably know, Mr. Robert Sayine is a former Member of this House and has served the riding I now serve.

Mr. Sayine is also a former chief, a former businessman in the community of Deninu Ku'e. He has served his people and will continue to serve his people well in the next little while.

I would also like to congratulate other candidates who ran -- there were four others -- and encourage them to throw their support behind the now-elected chief, as the community should throw their support behind the now-elected chief and support him for the duration of his term.

If a person gets elected, I believe they should be supported through thick and thin. I look forward to working with Mr. Robert Sayine, his council and his community. Once again, congratulations, chief. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

-- Applause
