Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to wish everybody back home in Nunakput all the best today. Since our last sitting, we had deceased members of my communities. The loss of Samantha Lucas, our thoughts and prayers are with John and the family. Samantha was a real pillar for the family in Sachs Harbour, and she'll be missed. I give my regards to the Lucas family in Sachs Harbour and to the Pokiak family in Tuk for the loss of their sister.

Mr. Speaker, this -- we had four deaths in Tuk since our last sitting. The first one was my stepfather, Barney Masazumi, and he's really being missed by his other -- his stepson Seth and the rest of the family. And -- not very often.

Mr. Speaker, next was one of my good friends and Elders, Stanley Keevik. Stanley was a respected Elder in our community and a herder back in the day. And he had so many stories and so many good things to say. He'll phone you almost on a daily basis to encourage you to keep moving forward and giving little key advice and stuff. But he'll be really missed. So to the Keevik family of Tuk and the surrounding areas, I'm sorry for the loss of Stanley. He'll be missed.

Also, we had Eva Ratti, a well-respected Elder in our community, a seamstress. To Gary and Bernice and the family, thoughts and prayers are with you.

And to Roland Kikoak, Oats, he's gonna be really missed because I grew up with him and, yeah, did a lot of hunting with him. And just one of the guys that you could always call upon for help and he'll be there for you. And he did that to everybody.

Mr. Speaker, I just wish all the families and whoever's hurting across our territory of loss of loved ones, our thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless. Thank you.
