Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend in Fort Smith saw the running of the 5th Annual Aurora Open, the main charity golf tournament for the community for the year. Mr. Speaker, this golf tournament has been a success because of the strong support of the community, but of equal importance has been the strong corporate support we've received over the years.

Mr. Speaker, I would just like to acknowledge in this House the support from Canadian North, Northwest Air Lease, Diavik, NorthwesTel, BHP, Enbridge, TransCanada PipeLines, NTPC, Kaeser's Store and the Slave River Journal. Mr. Speaker, this particular golf tournament saw 104 golfers play in a tournament, but the real benefit is first to the charity that they have chosen and that's a non-profit organization that we all know in this House and that's the Western Arctic Leadership Program. For the second year running, we have been able to donate $5,000 to the Western Arctic Leadership Program as a result of the contributions of the corporate sponsors to this tournament.

I would just like to recognize the work of the college and thank the corporate sponsors. I would like to acknowledge that my colleague Mr. Delorey came over and through a day of fairly intense rain on Saturday, but a nice sunny day on Sunday, he put in his time on the land with the rest of us.

So, Mr. Speaker, this is a very big tournament for us. We started planning for this in January and it was a great success. We are very happy to have the Western Arctic Leadership Program be able to benefit. Thank you.
