Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I indicated in my earlier statement, initially there was only my party that I was dealing with. However, since the Arctic Winter Games included cultural activities, I had my office contact the Minister of Education to see if he had any plans to go as well.

He had plans to take himself, myself and two -- myself would have been me, my spouse and the E.A. That left two open seats. A couple of days later, I received a request from the Commissioner's office as to whether or not I could find a seat on that jet for the Commissioner, as there were no available seats on commercial flights.

The Commissioner was and is still taking part on this flight, as well as myself, my spouse and my E.A. We had one other seat available at that time. After discussion amongst the Ministers, it was suggested to offer it to an MLA. I had no fair way to do this, Mr. Speaker, except to offer it to the first MLA I met in the hallway. That happened to be Mr. Bell. He accepted, but now I understand he is withdrawing that and now it is Mr. Nitah who is going. Thank you.
