I would like to start by recognizing three special people in the gallery today for me: a constituent of mine, Dawna O’Brien who was my campaign manager in 2003, also Bobbi Hamilton who was my campaign manager for this election, and my wife, Davida. Thank you for being here. You have been here for a few days now and I really appreciate your support in being here. Welcome to the Legislative Assembly.

Recognition of visitors in the gallery. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
