Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a very important day to my family, when a new baby girl weighing nine pounds and one ounce came into this world.

Mr. Speaker, I am speaking about my daughter, Letitia, and her boyfriend, John, who are the proud parents of their new baby girl. My wife, Lucille, and sons, Darren and Bertram, are proud to be grandparents and uncles.

We welcome the baby girl to our family. I can't be there today with them, but my thoughts and prayers are with my wife, Lucille, sons, Darren and Bertram, and Letitia and John and the new addition to our family.
On another note, Mr. Speaker, Lucy Dilton, our mental health worker for Tuktoyaktuk, was recognized by the Department of Health and Social Services on February 5, 2005, for over 10 years of service. Congratulations, Lucy.
In closing, Mr. Speaker, the Nasagaluak brothers, Eli, Billy and Joe, of Tuktoyaktuk returned recently from the national snow sculpture competition in Ottawa. I am proud to report they came in second and won the People's Choice Award during this competition. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
