Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Before we go on I would just like to draw your attention to the gallery for one of our Members here. Robert McLeod has his wife, Judy, and daughter Kimberly, in the gallery. Also with them is Donovan Avery and Richard Ross, Jr. They have to leave right away because they are here representing Inuvik in the curling playdowns.

Welcome to the Legislative Assembly. Item 3, Members' statements. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
