Mr. Speaker, I would like to formally recognize Ms. Sharon Firth in the visitors' gallery today. Ms. Firth, a four-time Olympian and Order of Canada recipient, was recently named a Canada 150 Ambassador by the Minister of Canadian Heritage, the Honourable Melanie Joly. Canada 150 Ambassadors are being asked to connect with Canadians all across the country and contribute to creating positive legacies for years to come and make 2017, the year of the 150th anniversary of confederation, a defining year for all Canadians. Thank you, Sharon. We look forward to your contributions to this important project and to the exciting Canada 150 celebration events that will take place across the NWT and Canada. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
