Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Last week in my Member’s statement I was speaking regarding how important it is to get an extension onto Mangilaluk School due to the conditions that the students and staff are under. I really feel that this would be a good thing for the government to do for the small communities, especially in the community of Tuk, where the students have to be taught their Inuvialuktun in the staff room and teachers have to share a bathroom and eat their lunches in the hallway. For myself and for the students of Mangilaluk School, they’ve been fighting for this for years. I can remember that when I was a councillor and then mayor, we were trying to push this forward but had never been successful. Now I’m in a position to try to make this motion to make it a reality for my constituents of Tuk and for the students and staff.

I really ask my colleagues for their support. This is an important issue for myself and my constituents. I’d ask for a recorded vote.
