Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to speak about some accomplishments of constituents back at home. It has been reported previously in the papers and there are some proud parents back in Inuvik of some youngsters who have been successful in their extracurricular activities.

Mr. Speaker, Jason and Rebecca Baxter travelled to Fairbanks, Alaska and competed in the Junior North American and International Federation of Sled Dog Sports on February 23 and 25, 2001. Mr. Speaker, Jason took the first place title in the four-dog class and Rebecca took third place in the two-dog class.

Mr. Speaker, I think the youth of our Territory and our communities need to be recognized for the achievements they have excelled in, and have worked hard to get to. I would like to take this time to thank the parents and the youth that have taken a lot of time and dedicated extra hours in ensuring that they become successful in their activities. I wish them much success in the work they are about to do in the area of sled-dog sports. They have definitely highlighted it and brought more interest from our community.

Speaking of youth, Mr. Speaker, it brings me to the point where I feel I must also tell my family and my wife that I am coming home tomorrow. Thank you.
