Thank you, Minister Ootes. Colleagues, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize in the gallery a former Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories, representing the High Arctic at the time, Mr. Ludy Pudluk.
-- Applause
Mr. Pudluk was a Minister as well as the Deputy Speaker and a long-serving Member. He was the Dean of the Legislative Assembly for 20 years, I am told. As well, Mr. Pudluk is the provider of our polar bear that is here on display in our Chamber. Welcome back home, Ludy.
-- Applause
