Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to take, also, a few minutes to say a few thanks. I'd like to thank the constituents of Range Lake for sending me back to the Legislature for the third time with another strong mandate. I want them to know that I will continue to work hard to be their voice and to

represent their issues and concerns in this House. It's such a great honour and privilege to serve them as a Member. This is a time in my life I'm certain that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Mr. Speaker, I'd also like to express my appreciation to the Members of this House for giving me their confidence and trust to serve them and the people of the Northwest Territories in the Executive Council. I pledge to them that I will continue to work hard, and work hard with them, to get the job done for the people of the Northwest Territories.

As many Members have stated already, none of us could be here without our family and supporters. I'd like to thank all of them for their support. In particular, I'd like to recognize my sister, Kathy Kim, who left 20 years ago but came back for two weeks to help me out and to find out what it is that I was all mad about. I don't think I convinced her to run for office, but I want to thank her. I want to also recognize my former assistant, who was my campaign manager, Cathy Olson, who is watching us through the web camera, I understand, and I'd like to recognize my official agent, Abe Theil.

I look forward to working with you for the next four years. I think we can get a lot done together. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
