Mr. Speaker, it's much sadness and grief today for my people of Nunakput as we have been so many loved -- so many loved ones have passed away since our last sitting here at the Assembly. I'd like to pay respects to the families and friends in Nunakput who have lost their loved ones recently.

In Paulatuk, Mary Green, well-respected elder who will be dearly missed by her family and her long-time husband Tony, and prayers go out for Tony, Tony Green and the family. In Tuktoyaktuk, Josh Gruben. Thoughts and prayers out to his wife Roberta, Sharon -- his mother Sharon and his brother Justin and their children. Christian Mangelana, thoughts and prayers go out to Dawn, his mother Dawn, grandparents, Catharine and Clarence.

I lost my uncle Henry Steen, an elder in the community of Tuk, a well-respected elder and one of the smartest guys I've known in regards to technology, and he will be sadly missed.
