Thank you, Mr. McLeod. It’s always

better to have the other half in here sometimes too. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s an honour to recognize today in the House, Commanding Officer of “G” Division, Chief Superintendent Ron Smith, and also the officer in charge of criminal operations, Mike LeSage. I know they don’t get thanked enough, so I want to thank them for all the great police work they’ve done across the Northwest Territories. Most recently, with large seizures of illegal drugs and alcohol in communities across the territory. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to

recognize two Pages from Tsiigehtchic. We have Jessica Andre and my daughter Davina here with us this week.

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to

recognize Andrew John Kenny from the Deline Got

’ine Government. Andrew John has been an

elder and a guide for me for the last 12 years in the Legislative Assembly, and I’d like to recognize his commitment and dedication to the Sahtu people.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Through you and to you, I’d like to welcome all members in the gallery here today, and we have some long- serving Northerners from Yellowknife here. We’ve got Gladys and Albert Eggenberger. Thanks for joining us here today. They’ve brought with them some friends all the way from Beaver Lodge, Alberta. We’re got Ed Brown and we’ve got Carolyn Morgan. Welcome to the proceedings. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m very

pleased to welcome two Frame Lake constituents, long-standing members of the city of Yellowknife. I call them, I think they’re builders of our community, Gladys and Albert Eggenberger. I’m very pleased to see you guys here, and welcome to your visitors as well.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I see that we have two of my constituents, although they’ve already been recognized, but they certainly deserve the credit and recognition once again. I’d like to recognize constituent Chief Superintendent Ron Smith and Superintendent Mike LeSage

. They’re not

only constituents, they’re both neighbours, so I feel very safe and very proud to have our RCMP members here in the gallery today.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. I’d like to

welcome everybody here in the public gallery. Thank you for taking an interest in our proceedings.
