Commissioner Of The Northwest Territories Hon. Glenna Hansen
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Premier, Members of the Legislative Assembly. I would like to thank you for the work and dedication that you have once again demonstrated on behalf of the people of the Northwest Territories.
You have sought and achieved consensus on a number of matters that were before you. This is not always an easy task. It is rarely done without debate and not always without emotion. One thing I know we agree upon -- these are important times for the future of the Northwest Territories and for territorial leaders and elected Members of the Legislative Assembly, the decisions are not easy.
Next week Canada will celebrate National Aboriginal Day. It will be an opportunity for all of us to recognize the rich contributions that aboriginal peoples have made and continue to make to our society.
It is also a time to celebrate our Territory and its people -- residents of all origins who live and work in an environment of respect for each other's heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.
I hope that you will each join in the celebrations for Aboriginal Day in your community, mindful of our diversity and unity -- both as aboriginal people and Northerners.
As you prepare to leave this Assembly and return to your communities and families, I pray God will grant you travelling mercies. Many of us will meet again at a variety of gatherings and assemblies over the summer months.
I hope these opportunities to come together as peoples of the Northwest Territories will be a source of renewal and inspiration.
As Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bills: Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Northwest Territories Business Credit Corporation Act; and Bill 4, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 2001-2002.
Thank you.

Thank you, please be seated. Before we go to orders of the day, it will be about a month before we reconvene. I wish that you enjoy that time, as much of it that you can spend with your families, and do have a safe journey home, those of you who are travelling. We look forward to seeing you, as the Commissioner said, at a variety of activities. Until then, I hope you have a very safe month of duties and pleasantries. Mr. Clerk, orders of the day.
