Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this week is Aurora College Week and I'd like to recognize the fine work the Aurora College does for the people in the Northwest Territories. Aurora College, being the deliverer of education, I'd like to speak a little bit on the value of education, specifically communications, Mr. Speaker. Communication is one of the most important tools that we have as human beings in society. Words, Mr. Speaker, put in the right context, steer emotions in us and those around us. Those emotions lead to action and those actions that result in the lives that we lead. The importance of education and the importance of teaching our people and our youngsters to communicate is very important. A study done, some 50 years ago, in the penal institutions of the United States demonstrated very clearly that those that don't communicate well, tend to react very violently because of frustration. I sometimes wonder maybe it is that lack of communication skills that we see such high instances of violence against one another in Northwest Territories. The statistics in the Northwest Territories are deplorable. So, today, I just wanted to stand up and recognize the Aurora College and speak to the importance of education, specifically in the area of communication. Congratulations. I believe there are events happening throughout the Territories for Aurora College Week. I know there is a drum dance at the Yellowknife Campus between 7 and ten; we're all encouraged to attend if we can. Mahsi cho.
