Members, I know that when you leave this House today, you are all heading into a very busy spring. Although the House will not meet again until early in May, the work of government, committees and representing your constituents continues.
Committees are travelling throughout the Territories in April to consult with the people of the North on a number of important issues. I encourage all northerners to take part in their consultations and public meetings whenever possible. Your input is a vital component to the work we do here, and these consultations are your opportunity to make a contribution.
Also, Members, a reminder that the territorial Youth Parliament will be meeting in this House during the week of April 30th to May 4th. This is a wonderful opportunity for the youth of our territory to obtain first-hand experience and knowledge of the workings of government. As I stated last week, the theme of the 2007 Youth Parliament will focus on enhancing the role of women and politics. In continuing with this theme of women as leaders, our Legislature will also host, during that same week, a meeting of the Commonwealth women parliamentarians. It will be an exciting week for our Legislature, allowing our young men and women -- our future leaders -- an opportunity to meet and learn from the experienced parliamentarians.
Until we meet again in May, I wish all Members safe travels and good health.
Accordingly, I adjourn this House until May 9, 2007, at 1:30 p.m.
---Applause

The House adjourned at 16:27 p.m.
