Please be seated. Colleagues, before we adjourn today I would like to extend the appreciation of the House to the Deputy Commissioner, Gerald W. Kisoun. It was a pleasure having you in the House today. I would also like to thank all the pages who have helped us throughout during here, this sitting. You all have done a great job and have been present in the Chamber during some of the important discussions here today and in the previous weeks. I hope that we see all of you again soon enough; maybe attending as one of our youth parliamentarians. In addition, I'd also like to thank all the interpreters throughout our session. You have served us well. Without you our language would be lost; for that I'd like to thank you.

We can't forget our elders, the prayers before we start our sessions and at the end of our sessions. Those that offered prayers in the House, you've given us guidance and direction for us to move forward, and for that I'd like to say masi on behalf of the House. Colleagues, seeing you all wearing poppies in the Chamber these past weeks is a wonderful tribute to Remembrance Day and to those who have served and continue to serve in the Canadian Forces. I encourage all NWT residents to take a moment wherever you may be on November 11th to pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of these men and women.

Colleagues, I know that the work of government, no matter what side of the House you sit on, does not end when we conclude today. I know that all Members will continue to meet during the next few weeks, few months, but we will not meet again formally in the Chamber until the New Year. So with that in mind, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and also your loved ones, Members, as well as all residents of the Northwest Territories a healthy, safe, and happy holiday season.

Mr. Clerk, orders of the day.
