Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I think that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission does deserve to be recognized for their truly incredible amount of hard work here in the Northwest Territories. There is a lot to do yet. I’m excited that we can stand in this House, have a presentation with them and to commend them for their hard work.
I know that as I travel to the communities in the North, especially to my communities in the Nahendeh, that people were excited to see them and I think the excitement was about a chance to be heard and for their stories to be heard. Their role is like ours as MLAs. I think that they do want to make a difference in the people’s lives with so many people impacted in all the regions throughout Canada.
I’d like to concentrate on some of the positive things in the Ministers’ statements today, talking about getting out to the jails and having the residential school system and syndrome explained in our schools with the curriculum change. All those little things make a difference in our people’s lives, and they should be commended on that and the many other great things that should be coming out as they complete their work.
