Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There's a number of people I want to recognize today.
I am going to start with the Tlicho Grand Chief Jackson Lafferty. Welcome, glad to see you back in the House again.
Ms. Kate Reid. Kate Reid I knew from the work of my colleague Julie Green when we were trying to do the campaign for women in leadership and look what happened. I'm hoping to see your name on the ballot this coming election, Kate, so welcome.
The northern Indigenous counselling graduates. Everyone knows that we need more people for counsellors. We know that we need more Indigenous people, people that can relate, so I'm truly honoured to see you all here.
And the babies in the House. It reminds me, in all honesty, of the time when I went and got my own social work degree as a single mom, with two young children and one still nursing and I noticed you were nursing, so congratulations. I was the fist person to go to university in my whole family and both of my children are in post-secondary. So congratulations for what you're doing and congratulations for breaking the cycle. Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
Welcome everyone. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
