Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, after the very dramatic few days, I thought I would give my Member's statement in a lighter tone. I want to recognize today, Mr. Speaker, world champions from the Northwest Territories. I am speaking, of course, of Mr. Russell King and Mr. Spencer King from Hay River.

Once again, they have competed in a world championship event in New Zealand, where they raced against top calibre jet boat racers from all over the world. Again, Mr. Speaker, they won by an astounding 48 minutes above their next competitor. I would like to congratulate Mr. Russell King and his son, Spencer King, in this world championship. It is not too often that Canada sees a world champion. As they came from the Northwest Territories, I think we should recognize them and congratulate them, and I would like to do that today. Congratulations, gentlemen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
