Colleagues, I would like to extend the appreciation of the House to the Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, Ms. Margaret Thom. It was a pleasure having her in the House and we thank her for assisting us today.
As we leave here today, colleagues, I know you’re all looking forward to finding some time this summer to attend and participate in summer assemblies, continue your work for and with your constituents and spend this all-too-short season with family and friends. As we all know, the work of the Members does not end when this House adjourns. However, I urge you all to make time to connect with those you love and enjoy the special short time in the North.
A perfect opportunity to do this is on June 21st ,
when Canadians all across the country are invited to celebrate National Aboriginal Day. This is an opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding achievements and to celebrate the diverse cultures of our aboriginal, Metis and Inuit citizens. We are fortunate to celebrate this special day chosen to coincide with the summer solstice in a land where the sun will shine on those achievements long after it sets in other parts of the country.
Following on the heels of National Aboriginal Day is Canada Day. Please try to take the time to acknowledge and celebrate our special northern heritage and our country. We have so much to be proud of and thankful for.
I would like to take this time to thank the Pages who we have had in this House during this sitting.
---Applause
I extend appreciation of the Assembly to all the Pages who have assisted us during this sitting of the Assembly.
And with that, Mr. Clerk, orders of the day.
