The Speaker

The Speaker Frederick Blake Jr.

Colleagues, before we end the day, I just want to take a few moments to thank everyone who has made this sitting possible, especially our interpreters, mahsi cho. Our contractors who help us keep this place running smoothly. We couldn't do this work without you.

---Applause

I also want to thank each of you. I know this was not a long sitting but there were long days in committees, in the House, and together we were able to get a lot done. I thank each of you for your hard work and dedication. You should be proud of the work you do here. I know I am proud to be a part of it.

Colleagues, this House will not sit again until the fall. But I know we will all be busy. The work of government and committees and all MLAs will continue so we can continue to serve our constituents and all residents of the territory.

Although we will remain busy in our roles as MLAs, regular Members, and Members of the Executive Council, I remind Members to take some time to take care of themselves and to enjoy the company of those closest to us. Our jobs require a great deal of sacrifice from our family and closest friends. Please take time to let them know how much we appreciate their efforts and sacrifice.

I know many people are looking forward to enjoying our beautiful northern summer. I certainly am. For those of you who will be travelling, please do so safely. For those of you who will be out on the land, please remember to do so with great respect for our natural environment. Recent news of travel exemptions that would allow travel to and from the Yukon is welcoming news, especially for the residents of my region in the Beaufort Delta and the northern-most communities in the territory. We can finally see some light at the end of the tunnel. With the expected update on the Emerging Wisely plan expected next week, we are looking forward to more good news. Although some restrictions may be easing, I would like to remind all Members and all residents to continue their safe hygiene practices and physical distancing and to follow all orders of the chief public health officer. We must all do our part to help keep the territories safe and to protect each over, especially our most vulnerable populations. Mr. Clerk, orders of the day. Oh, already, sorry.

This House stands adjourned until Thursday, October 14th, 2021, at 1:30 p.m.

---Adjournment

The House adjourned at 12:21 p.m.
