Thank you, Mr. Allen. Item 5, recognition of visitors in the gallery. I would like to welcome all the people present in the gallery who have come here today. I understand there are people from the transportation industry and from the advertising industry here in Yellowknife for a series of meetings. Thank you for taking the time to come see the Legislative Assembly at work.

I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize our pages, who have been here over the past week. This is their final day. They are the NWT Cadets. They are from several different communities in the Northwest Territories, Richie Campbell from Norman Wells, Jack Miller from Inuvik, Rae-anne Bourque from Fort Smith, Michael Rowe from Fort Simpson, Mathew Scarborough from Hay River, Jean Marc Arsenault from Hay River, Jackson Mantla from Rae-Edzo, and Ms. Crous from Yellowknife. Thank you for the service you have given us this past week.

I also hope that it has been a learning experience. Item 5, recognition of visitors in the gallery. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. Lafferty.
