Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. I have a different perspective now when we sit indoors and talk about the communities and the residents that I got to know a little bit better this summer in the course of one short week, and I want to thank everyone who we encountered along the way for their kindness and hospitality. Just to name a very few: the Pellissey family in Wrigley, Fred Andrew and his children in Tulita who we stayed with, and the warm hospitality of Chief Ron Piro and the people of Fort Good Hope. Incidentally, I did run into on this trip, as well, Mr. Bell, Mr. Krutko, Mr. Menicoche, Mr. Yakeleya and a few others, actually.

A few other elected leaders who were all working of course. I was the only one on holidays.

Anyway, Mr. Speaker, it was a trip of a lifetime and when I got home I bought the boat and I can't wait. It doesn't look too much like boating weather today with the snow coming down, but I can't wait to get back out on the Mackenzie River next summer and then we'll go right to the Arctic. Thank you.
