Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to
welcome all the residents of Weledeh that are in the House today, I know there are many. I’d like to mention in particular Ms. Jennifer Young, co-founder of Face2Face, a local organization that helped the House recognize Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, as mentioned earlier, which was yesterday. As a result, all the Members are wearing pins that recognize that day. Ms. Young I know has requested that all MLAs wear the pins for the rest of October. In fact, they are planning an event tonight at the Yellowknife River at seven o’clock and all Members are invited to join that.
I’d also like to welcome to the House Frank Walsh, the second vice-president of the Union of Northern Workers executive, as well as regional vice-president for North Slave, Chris Potyok, if I got his name pronunciation correct there.
The Union of Northern Workers executive are here in Yellowknife to attend the UNW’s 16th triennial
convention that starts tomorrow and goes through Sunday. Welcome to Yellowknife; welcome to the House. Mahsi.
