Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I also wanted to just comment on a couple of the programs that take place here related to youth. I just wanted to speak in favour of the Youth Parliament that is held. I think it is an extremely valuable program, as is the paging program. I would like to see that continue. We have many young people come back and report on just how exciting they find being in this building and working in this building and how informative and how it gets them interested in politics. After having been here they do follow along more often with what goes on here and so on. There was a Youth Parliament where a young man from Hay River came here and served and ultimately went on to be Page in the Canadian Senate. We saw him when we were down there from the Northwest Territories. His interest in that job was as a result of work that he had done here in the legislature. I think it's a very valuable program. I think it's something that we should continue, if not perhaps consider enhancing. The more people we can get involved in our process here the more valuable this is as a public government that people can feel they can participate in some way. I think that's all I'm going to have to say for now. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
