Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is with deep regret and much sadness that I wish to express my condolences to the Elanik family of Aklavik on the passing of Peter Elanik, who passed away February 12, 2003. My deepest sympathies with Peter's wife Mary Ann, and their children, Peter and Gordie Kasook. I would also like to extend my sympathy to Peter's other relatives, family and friends. Peter always took good care of his family. He was always great in assisting others in his community. Peter taught many children bush skills and survival skills. With his wife Mary Ann, they took many young men and people down to the whaling camp to give them more experience on the land and the whaling activities, especially at Shingle Point on the Beaufort Sea. He worked as a counsellor on a casual basis at Charlie Soupay Friendship Centre. He had a positive impact on all those who knew him, especially the community of Aklavik. Peter will be greatly missed by the people of Aklavik and the surrounding communities. He was the kind of man who went out of his way to help others. With the support of Peter's family, friends and relatives, I know his memory will always prevail and we will be able to overcome his loss and passing and carry on the work that Peter did. May God bless you all and be with you in this time of sorrow. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
