Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I would also like to recognize Ms. Sheila Cook, who earlier today was inducted into the NWT Education Hall of Fame and received an award. It goes on her mantle with some of the other awards she's won including Citizen of the Year, and so on. She's always contributing to the community, and I just wanted to let her know how much she's appreciated, and welcome her to the gallery. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to recognize Steve Nicoll, and I will be doing an acknowledgement later today. He is an amazing teacher, and I have to thank him as a parent. He taught all my children and he survived, so I give him credit to that. I give him kudos to that as well. My new CA, Charles Blondin, who is a political student at University of Alberta and he's already into politics, so he's helping me out, making me look good. As well, I'd like to welcome Sheila Cook and recognize her. I was a neighbour of hers, and I'd like to recognize her for the award, as well as Tracy, Tracy Cook. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
