Of course, this could have the potential of being a long statement, but I'm talking about this coat collection. But, Mr. Speaker, I wanted to mention by name just a few of the other beaders and people who sew who have contributed to the collection of garments that I am proud and honoured to own:

• beaver mittens from the late Sarah Simon;
• a wolverine-trimmed parka with Delta braid made by the late Florence Peterson from the Mackenzie Delta;
• a moosehide jacket crafted by Bernadette Williah from Behchoko;
• beaded gauntlet gloves, the last pair sewn and beaded by the late Anne Buggins from the K'atlodeeche First Nation;
• baby belts, dolls, moccasins, mukluks, beadworks from the Sahtu;
• jackets from Alice Abel and Kathy Dahl;
• a stroud jacket, I'm very proud of, with the beadwork done by Mary Louise Sangris.

These are just to mention a few, Mr. Speaker, and I won't go on any longer. But someday I hope this collection will be in a museum someplace and I hope that I will have a chance to record all the stories of the wonderful artists, and a shout out to all of them today. Thank you.
