Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a number of people in the gallery today. First I would like to recognize Jim Excell. He's president of Ekati diamond mines. He, like some of us here, will be retiring later on this year.

I would also like to recognize the members of the NWT Business Coalition. Kelly Hayden is past president of the NWT Chamber of Commerce; Denise Burlingame is president of the NWT Chamber of Commerce and is also senior public affairs officer with BHP Billiton; I would like to recognize Georges Erasmus, a long-time leader and friend of mine; and I would like to recognize two Pages from Fort Simpson who have been serving us all week, Megan Okrainec and Anthony Roche.
