Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to welcome to the gallery Mr. Charlie Furlong, mayor of Aklavik and president of the NWT Housing Corporation, as well as Joanne Deneron. Welcome to the House. Annette Hopkins and Tasha Bergman from the nine-month-old Department of Lands are taking in our proceedings for the first time. Welcome.
I’d also like to welcome my support counterpart in the Yukon who along with former Minister Kusugak from Nunavut were very instrumental in pushing to have the Alternate Games of those sports that were eliminated from the 2016 in Nuuk, and we appreciate the City of Whitehorse and the Yukon government for agreeing to host these games. Minister Taylor was very instrumental in bringing that about, and we look forward to some of the results in Whitehorse and, of course, seeing Northwest Territories come out on top again. Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker.
