Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to welcome all the guests that are here. In particular I’d like to recognize former Speaker, MLA, chief and grand chief, Mr. Sam Gargan from Fort Providence; also, Arthur Elleze and Russell Elleze as well.

I’d like to also highlight the two Pages who have been here throughout this week. Ms. Christina Bonnetrouge is 15 years old and in Grade 9. This fall she will be in high school, Grade 10, and her favour subjects are math, language arts and gym. During her spare time she can be found reading, writing or playing on her guitar. Her favourite sport is badminton. This summer she may take part in a badminton tournament that will be held in Saskatoon, the Canada Aboriginal Badminton Tournament. There they will have Olympic athletes that will be training them before the tournament. She’s very outgoing with sports, committed to her school, working as a career goal set for herself that she wants to be a nurse or a physiologist. Also, at the same time, I’d like to recognize Mr. Anthony James Betsaka, who is also a Page from Fort

Providence. Anthony is 14 years old. He is in Grade 8 at Deh Gah Elementary and Secondary School in Fort Providence. He likes math. He’s very quiet and shy, and he likes to spend a lot of his time with his family. He’s into games and challenges himself with all kinds of Lego.

I’d also like to recognize, this morning, the Premier’s Award for Excellence, the team category. Congratulations to all recipients of the Premier’s Awards that occurred this morning, particularly the Anthrax Emergency Response Team from the Deh Cho, Fort Providence: Danny Beaulieu, renewable resource officer III, Edward Landry, renewable resource officer II and also Tommy Matto, regional fire technician with ENR.
