Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In keeping with the mini theme day that seems to be building, I would like to congratulate my constituents who are going to the Arctic Winter Games in Iqaluit and Nuuk. I would have loved to have been able to attend and cheer them on but I will be cheering from here, Mr. Speaker. There are 38 constituents from Yellowknife South that I have to recognize who are going to proudly represent Team NWT as coaches, athletes and officials.
Before I get to naming them, I would just like to say that in hearing Minister's Steen statement today, he mentioned the fact that they would be meeting with their ministerial counterparts from Greenland to discuss culture. I think that is a very important aspect of these games. I know that in the two games I participated in, Mr. Speaker, that was much of the value that I came away with.
The constituents I have to recognize are: Gail Nesbit, Bill Othmer, Brie-Anne Jefferson, Trevor Moss, William Chapple, Colton Sangris, Carlos Gonzalez, Linda Dunbar, Thomsen D'Hont, Megan Bowden, Shauna Burry, Graeme Chan, Kristan Fairbairn, Kenny Mann, Gord Monteath, Julie Monteath, Christopher Wong, Antonio Babic, Christopher Kelln, Robert Borden, Mackenzie Bentley-Little, Hailey Grayston, Nicole Hamm, Jody Doherty, Jeff Fraser, Andrew Hunter, Alex Chapple, Matt Green, Corey Taylor, Danielle Ellis, Brian Hunter, Robert Latremouille, Mathew Walker, Michele Bourgois, Tobi Taylor, Allister McCreadie, Sarolta Wouters and Russel Becker.
I would notice that Matthew Walker is going for snowboarding, Mr. Speaker, certainly an event that was not around in my time, but it is nice to see that we are keeping up with the times.
Congratulations to all my constituents who are going and are attending, and I will be cheering them on from here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
