Tony Whitford Commissioner Of The Northwest Territories
Please be seated. [English translation not provided.]
Good afternoon. Mr. Speaker and Members of our Legislative Assembly, as most of you know, I enjoy visiting the people of our many communities. I will use every opportunity to visit your constituencies and to accept as many invitations as possible that may be extended by the honourable Members of this House. For example, I have been invited to attend the Wood Buffalo Frolics in Fort Smith this weekend and I leave tomorrow for that.
Later this month, I plan to visit most of the schools in the Sahtu when I make a tour of the region by ice road; wind and weather permitting, of course.
I wish each Member of this House safe travels and a busy, productive time as you continue to work for the people of the Northwest Territories.
Now, as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bills:
• Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Historical Resources Act
• Bill 3, International Interests in Mobile Aircraft Equipment Act
• Bill 4, Public Library Act
• Bill 5, Professional Corporations Act
• Bill 7, An Act to Amend the Student Financial Assistance Act
• Bill 8, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 3, 2008-2009
• Bill 9, Northern Employees Benefits Services Pension Plan Protection Act
• Bill 16, Supplementary Appropriation Act (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 1, 2009-2010
Thank you. Merci beaucoup. Mahsi cho. Koana.
---Applause

Third Reading of Bills
The Speaker Paul Delorey
You may be seated. Colleagues, before we adjourn today I would like to take this opportunity to say a few words.
This has been a lengthy session, beginning in early February during the dark of winter and continuing as the season changed and we head towards spring. Spring may arrive a bit later than it does in the rest of the country, but it is a beautiful time and appreciated even more after such a long wait. We are an optimistic lot, believing that in spite of the temperatures this week, that spring is just around the corner.
As we leave today, I know that Members will be travelling back to their families and communities, and that Cabinet will continue the work started during this budget session and that committees will continue to meet and travel throughout the Territory.
May I suggest, colleagues, that you take some time to enjoy this season of renewal as we rush into our commitments.
I would also like to remind you of the 2009 Youth Parliament taking place on April 20th to the 24th . I
encourage any Members who are able, to come out and participate. I never fail to be impressed by the enthusiastic and bright, young people I see taking part in this worthwhile program.
I would also like to encourage any young people in Grade 9 or 10 to participate. It is a wonderful and unique opportunity to learn about consensus government, to learn more about government processes and to meet youth from all parts of the Northwest Territories. I am looking forward to meeting the 2009 Youth Parliamentarians.
I would like to thank all the Pages who have helped us in the House during this sitting, and to extend
the appreciation of the Assembly for the important role that they play.
With that, Members, I wish you safe travels as you continue your work, and look forward to returning to this Chamber in May.
Mr. Clerk, item 23, orders of the day. Madam Clerk.
