Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize Ms. Beverly Esau, who's up in the gallery today. She stepped up to the plate and brought two of our Pages from Inuvik to chaperone. I just want to thank her for taking the time and watching over some of our youth during this very long sitting. I appreciate your patience.

Commissioner Of The Northwest Territories Hon. George Tuccaro

It is with deep sadness that I learned of the passing of former NWT Government Leader George Braden.

Mr. Braden, along with his colleagues in the Legislative Assembly in the early 1980s, worked hard to advance the political process that we see in today's Legislature. George continued to work for the betterment of the Northwest Territories even though he had moved to Ottawa about 20 years ago. I know that many Northerners will offer their tributes for the good work that was accomplished by the late George Braden and the early political leaders of the day.

My sincere condolences go to George's loving wife, Lise; his mother, Esther; and to his brothers and sister and their families.

As we get set to enjoy the summer months - we have waited so long for them - I would like to wish each of you a safe, healthy and happy summer as you take your break and enjoy quality time with your families. Please travel safely on the land, in our waters, in the air and on our highways as you continue working for the betterment of all Northerners. Please encourage and remind your families, friends and people in your communities to be safe out on the land and to wear personal flotation devices, or PFDs, when travelling by boat in our waterways.

Take great care this summer with your campfires, when extinguishing tobacco. The risk of fire is extremely high again this year.

I look forward to seeing you all again in the fall of the last sitting of the 17th Legislative Assembly.
