Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize so many visitors from our neighbouring communities and also to recognize the presence of some of the elders in the gallery. Mr. Speaker, I would like to especially recognize one elder who makes a tremendous difference in my life, my mother Mrs. Esther Braden. With her today is Barb Hood of the NWT Seniors' Society. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
