Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to start by recognizing Dawn McInnis, a long-time Northerner; a good friend of mine, Amanda Mallon, I consider a very valuable asset to the Northwest Territories, and I am proud to say is one of my friends.

I really want to reach out and say it is great to see all of the young students who are here in the Chamber today. I want to recognize also that these youths are mostly female. In fact, I see all females, and, if I am wrong, may the lone male stand up. As the Minister responsible for the Status of Women, I really want to say it is really important to see them all here. I appreciate you being here. As Members have said, you are going to be the future leaders of the Northwest Territories. When you're ready, I will gladly step aside and let you take my seat. Thank you, and welcome to the Chamber.
