Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, back from our two-week break, I just want to thank some people. Being home for the last two weeks, you see how hard the people are working, our communities, our front-line staff. I really want to thank our schoolteachers because we had a shorter break in Nunakput so that they could go home earlier this year; our RCMP staff and our health centre; and I would like to thank the mayors and councillors, Tuktoyaktuk Community Corporation, Paulatuk Community Corporation, Ulukhaktok, and Sachs Harbour. Also, our elders' committees are working so hard, and our local DEAs, our IRC, for helping with all of the suicide prevention workshops that they are doing in the Beaufort-Delta. I really thank them for that. They really stepped up. I would like to thank our government and the federal government for helping and assisting in getting funding to make things happen while we are in these COVID-19 days. I also want to thank all of our recreation staff that have been keeping our youth busy and occupied at night in our youth centres.
I just want to thank everybody for all of the hard work. It's not going unseen. I really appreciate all of the hard work that they are doing. I really would like to thank our elders because we are losing so many elders, Mr. Speaker. We had another death in our community of Tuktoyaktuk. We lost another really well-respected elder. We had four or five deaths in our community. Keep our community of Nunakput in prayers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
