Madam Clerk, would you ascertain if the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, the Honourable George Tuccaro, is prepared to enter the Chamber to assent to bills.

Colleagues, before we adjourn today, I would like to thank the Pages who have helped us out during this sitting. Our Pages have been from Yellowknife, Hay River, Tsiigehtchic, Lutselk’e, Fort Simpson and Inuvik. Let’s give them a hand.

---Applause

You have all done a great job and have been present in the Chamber during some interesting and important debates. I hope that we see all of you again, maybe attending as one of our youth parliamentarians or even coming back as a Member of this Assembly.

Colleagues, all the poppies I have seen in the Chamber these past weeks are a wonderful tribute to Remembrance Day. I know the day will be marked in all of your communities throughout the territory. I encourage all NWT residents to take a moment, wherever you may be on November 11

,

to pay tribute to those who have served and to those who continue to serve in the Canadian Forces. We owe so much to the courage and sacrifice of these men and women.

Colleagues, I know that the work of government, no matter what side of the House you sit on, does not end when we conclude today. I know that Members are returning for scheduled committee meetings during the next few months, but we will not meet again formally and in this Chamber until the New Year, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season. Members, I am sure you will join me in wishing all the residents of the Northwest Territories a healthy, safe and peaceful New Year.

Madam Clerk, orders of the day.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Accordingly, this House stands adjourned until Wednesday, February 5
