Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It gives me a sense of satisfaction today that I highlight another small business that symbolizes a northern success story. They have been a vital contributor to my riding of Inuvik Twin Lakes. Mr. Speaker, today I speak of Bob's Welding 1983 Limited, which has been in existence since that year. Bob's Welding, as the company is known locally, employs between 15 and 20 employees on an intermittent basis, depending on the level of business.

Bob's Welding has ventures in welding but it also does other business in household construction, gravel crushing, barging, and has investments in crane operations. Bob's Welding is owned and operated by Bob Gully and his family in Inuvik who are residents of Inuvik Twin Lakes.

Today I am pleased to extend my congratulatory remarks to a company that provides employment opportunities to the constituents of Inuvik Twin Lakes and to the residents of Inuvik.

Before that, Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment or two and on behalf of my colleague from Inuvik Boot Lake recognize Mayor Peter Clark from Inuvik. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
