Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to first recognize my wife Theresa. I hope she continues to recognize me.

I would also like to recognize Mayor Gordon Van Tighem from the city of Yellowknife and also all the deputy ministers who are sitting here nervously today.

Also, Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize all the other people who work behind the scenes who keep our government functioning well, particularly board members and board chairpersons. I see Andy Wong from the Workers' Compensation Board; Reanna Erasmus, a constituent and chairperson of the Yellowknife school board. It wouldn't be tradition if I didn't recognize Major Karen Hoeft as well. Thank you.
