Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to acknowledge the newly elected chief of Deninu K’ue of First Nations, Louis Balsillie.

Last night the DKFN held an election to elect a new chief and council. Louis Balsillie, who was acting chief for the last two years, was elected in a very, very close race.

Recently there had been some issues and uncertainty with respect to the leadership, so it is good to see this issue behind them.

With that, I would like to congratulate Chief Balsillie and the newly elected council. I look forward to working with him. Mahsi cho.
