Marci cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, [no translation provided]. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate the students who have graduated from high school this year in Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. In Lutselk'e, there were three who graduated; Nathan Lockhart and Curtis Lockhart, who are twins, and Ethan Catholique. In Ndilo, there were four graduates, Brent Betsina, Frank Betsina, Laveena Black, Kevin Mackeinzo. In Fort Resolution, there were eight graduates. This matched the most that had ever graduated at the Deninu School, I believe. They were Laney Beaulieu, Roger Beck, Jacob Boucher, Zachary Klugie-Mulder, Michelle Lafferty, Tamara Lafferty, Tori Lafferty, and Desiree Mandeville.
Mr. Speaker, I was able to attend the graduation ceremony and speech in Fort Resolution, and I am proud of the students who have worked hard to achieve these accomplishments. The families who supported them in their education goals, and the graduates also, should be very proud of themselves.
Best wishes to the graduates in the Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh riding. I hope they appreciate the wonderful things they have learned to take into the future. Mr. Speaker, I was unable to attend the graduation ceremonies in Lutselk'e and Ndilo, but I offer my congratulations to those students, as well.
Mr. Speaker, this year, we saw 15 people from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh graduate and move on to new aspects of their lives. On Wednesday, September 20, 2017, both the Minister of Finance and Minister of Health spoke about looking forward 20 years to see people with good jobs, jobs that will allow them to take care of their families, who are in their own homes and provide healthy food for their families.
Mr. Speaker, this goes a long way to providing a healthy environment that will afford people good opportunities for success moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
