Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My statement today is on the Arctic Winter Games. I would like to congratulate all of the athletes that are going to the games. Also, I would like to congratulate my constituents, the girls under-14 soccer team. The team consists of Antonia Gramiak, Krista Mantla, Samantha Migwi and Rena Lafferty. They have picked up some players from around the Territories to make up the rest of the team.
Also, I would like to congratulate the juvenile boys under-14 soccer team. The constituents of mine are Donavon Bishop, Marvin Migwi, Marvis Migwi, Tyron Fish and Rusty Mantla.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to say that in the past, we have been here in the House and spoke of unfairness in the selection process for our sports teams. Rae-Edzo sets a very good example of how a team should be made up. They do that by showing that they can make a team and make it out of the whole Territories by selecting other communities. They even go to Yellowknife to select their teams, Fort Simpson and other areas. This shows the sportsmanship and the commitment they put to representing the Northwest Territories.
I would like to tell the rest of the Northwest Territories that Rae-Edzo is a good example and the rest of the Territories should be using that kind of example for their games for the future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
