Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Before I begin, I would like to send belated birthday greetings to my brother James Pokiak. The older brother, I would say, who had his birthday on February 7, 2007.

Mr. Speaker, over the last couple of years, a number of elders from Nunakput have been hospitalized for medical reasons. At this time I would like to wish a speedy recovery to Mr. Andy Carpenter, the former mayor of Sachs Harbour, who is now retired and is presently recovering in the Inuvik Regional Hospital; also, to his wife, Wendy Carpenter, who is also with him in the hospital. Many of us here know that Mr. Carpenter has been a long-term serving mayor of Sachs Harbour and has been a very strong advocate of the RCMP presence in Sachs, so, hopefully, he will be around in July when it happens, I guess. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, another elder that is recovering and just returned back to Ulukhaktok is David Kuptana. I am glad that he is back in Ulukhaktok, because during the Caribou Summit there was information that he was medevaced to Edmonton, so I am glad to hear that he is back in Ulukhaktok.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize and congratulate a few people here that have accomplished certification: Anita Pokiak of Tuktoyaktuk, who is the community health representative, has done her CPR training. I wish her well. She can now do some CPR training in Tuktoyaktuk. Shirley Elias, who we saw in the gallery the other day, the community health worker in Ulukhaktok, congratulations to her on her recent training. Also, Roland Kikoak of Tuktoyaktuk, who got his certification in the environment monitoring program. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
