Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. I think I missed one name when I was calling out the returning officers: Brenda Kolson from Great Slave.

The honourable Member for Thebacha, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It gives me great pleasure to recognize and acknowledge a very good returning officer, a fine lady and a friend, Margo Harney.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Member for Great Slave, Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize a constituent and the returning officer for the Great Slave riding, Ms. Bren Kolson.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. The honourable Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s not too often we get to recognize constituents from our communities. I’d like to recognize Arlene Hansen. And we can say this time there will be an election in Inuvik Boot Lake.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. The honourable Member for Nunakput, Mr. Jacobson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just like the Premier said, it’s not too often we get people from our home communities. I’d like to welcome Molly Nogasak from my home of Tuktoyaktuk.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. The honourable Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes, Mr. Robert McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize a former constituent of Inuvik Twin Lakes who is also the returning officer. She didn’t move out of the riding; they actually moved the line. So welcome Juanita Bourque. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize a number of people today over here on the left side of the gallery. We have a number of residents of Northland who are here to observe the proceedings: Cheryl Fountain and her daughter Rhiannon Hoddinott; Rebecca Alty; Vivian Hansen; Wade Friesen; and Celeste Coomber. You will note that some of them are young, and some of them are very young, and some of them are not so young.

I’d also like to recognize the returning officer for Frame Lake, Shauna Morgan. Welcome everyone.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize a few members in the gallery at this time. I think they’re still up there. First of all, I recognize my constituency assistant who is a constituent of Yellowknife Centre and that would be Maud Robinson-Spence. As well as, I think, flanked somewhere up there I am recognized not as the MLA but also as the father; my two children are up there somewhere: McKinley Hawkins and Hudson Hawkins. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The honourable Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Michael McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Member for Hay River South, Mrs. Groenewegen.

Mr. Speaker, I’d be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to recognize a Hay River South constituent, as well, the returning officer for Hay River South, Ms. Heather Coakwell, and a long-time friend and educator in Hay River, Ms. Tessie Gonzales.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. The honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, Mr. Beaulieu.

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize the returning officer from Tu Nedhe, Tony Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. The honourable Member for Weledeh, Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to also recognize the returning officer for Weledeh, a lady who has served in that capacity a number of times, I believe, Ms. Pam Dunbar.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. The honourable Member for Sahtu, Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize also the lovely returning officer from the Sahtu, Margrit Minder. I’d also like to recognize from this past summer a CANOL 50-mile hiker, Tia Hanna, from the Northland residents in Yellowknife.
