Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, springtime in the Delta is a time that people look forward to and prepare for as the summer season comes upon us. At this time, Mr. Speaker, many of the residents from the community I represent have started putting their boats into the water, taking advantage of the waterways and going out to their camps in the Delta.

Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, this spring we had an event in the community that brought much sadness to the community, the passing of a young man who has a young family. We had a drowning that occurred while the ice was still in the river, melting away. It brings us to this time when we must once again tell our constituents and residents that we must be safe, Mr. Speaker, that we must take appropriate action and be careful when we are preparing to travel on the land and travel between communities at this time of year.

As much activity goes on as people prepare to go to their fish camps and the summer camps for the season, I would just like to urge the constituents and residents of the Territory to be extra careful and be safe this year, Mr. Speaker, so we do not have the unfortunate incidents of any drownings and people going missing and leaving family members behind. I think we need to again encourage, as we have year-by-year, people to be safe on the waters and be wise, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
