Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am going to speak in my language, I have an interpreter today. (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't get the opportunity to speak my language too often so I am thankful there is someone here to interpret for me. As an elected MLA, I want to say something about Wrigley today. I'm MLA for six communities and Wrigley is one of them. This week there was a meeting there of the leaders of the Deh Cho First Nation. They met there and this is their yearly meeting. The chiefs and the counsellors all met in Wrigley and they spoke about important issues and the one that is the most important thing was the Interim Measures Agreement. They have been working on this for over a year and they are talking about the land claims and self-government and so they have been discussing all these issues amongst themselves and the other thing is that, although they are speaking about the land claims issues, oil exploration, oil companies, they are talking about how all these things will come about and are gathering in Wrigley, although it is a small community and they really appreciate the opportunity to meet like this. This is why I am telling you about the things that are going on in Wrigley. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
