Mr.
Speaker, it gives me great
pleasure to recognize Mr. Robert Charlie. He is originally from Fort McPherson; he lives in Inuvik. He used to work for NorthwesTel for over 30 years. He has also been the chair of Gwich’in council since its inception in 1992. I’d also like to mention that Robert’s dad was one of the first aboriginal appointees to the Territorial Council in the Northwest Territories. It is those commitments that his dad has made to the Territories…where we are where we are today. Again, Robert is one of the candidates running for the presidency of the Gwich’in Tribal Council
and I wish Robert all the
best on the campaign trail. I know what it is like to campaign, but have at ’er!
