Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this part of our agenda gives us the opportunity as MLAs to say a few things about your constituency. I will take the opportunity today to thank the community of Jean Marie for inviting me when they had their appreciation evening on February 8th, last Saturday. The community put together a feast and dance and made presentations to members of the community who have contributed to their community over the years. The reason for doing that is, in our society in the North, in our small communities, we have different leaders and different people who contribute to our society and our communities and we don't seem to appreciate the time and energy people put into trying to make a better place for people living in the communities. On February 8th, Chief Fred Norwegian and his councillors saw fit to recognize previous chiefs and councillors of Jean Marie and their elders who have contributed to making their community what it is today. There are many people coming out of Jean Marie River to pursue their careers throughout the North and the south. I think it's from the early beginnings when their community leaders of the day like Louis Norwegian, Jimmy Sanguez, Johnny Sanguez, Gabe Sanguez, Henry Ekali, all these different elders who people don't know in the mainstream in the NWT that they did work very hard and urged their children to get an education and pursue careers. It was a very good evening that allowed me to reflect on our work here and throughout the North. I think there are many people in other communities and in government and other places, the Member of Parliament and Senators. We seem to focus on looking at the negative side instead of looking at the positive side. I think there are many positives in the North. We have reason to be proud of the work that we do and the work that our people in the communities do. Once again, I just wanted to share with you my tour in my constituency. Mahsi.
