Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was talking about our special guests who were at the event. There were four of them: Dakota House, who I mentioned; Sharee Fitch; our own Richard Van Camp, who has written a couple of books and says he is going to write more; and Alison Gzowski, daughter of the late Peter Gzowski, was our special guest. They were a very big hit, especially with the youth in Fort Simpson.

I was especially pleased to welcome Alison Gzowski to the tournament, to Fort Simpson and to the North. This was her first trip to the North and she was overwhelmed by the tributes paid to her father. Mr. Speaker, one of the tributes came from our own Premier, Stephen Kakfwi, who hosted a Premier's dinner in Fort Simpson that Thursday evening. Following the meal, the Premier spoke about Peter Gzowski. He spoke of his first encounter with him years ago when he was doing other things before getting into politics, and also of Peter Gzowski's contribution to life in the North and to literacy in the North. The Premier then did a fine job of playing the guitar and singing a northernized Bob Dylan song in tribute to Peter Gzowski. In talking to Alison, apparently Peter Gzowski also enjoyed Bob Dylan and occasionally sang a tune or two.

The performance by the Premier, Mr. Speaker, was a fitting end to an emotional, fun and successful two days in Fort Simpson, and it demonstrated once again Peter Gzowski's observation that Northerners truly are unique. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
