Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, and colleagues. I would like to introduce to the House Members of the Northwest Territories Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscience, or NAPEG as they are more commonly known. NAPEG is the delegated regulator under the Engineering and Geosciences Act.

Mr. Speaker, NAPEG asked the department to consider several proposed changes to the Act to modernization the association's powers and responsibilities, and the association has been instrumental in development of Bill 93. They have joined us in the House for first reading of the bill today.

Mr. Speaker, I'd like to recognize Melanie Williams who is the president of NAPEG. We also have Elaine Gillespie who is the NAPEG councillor. We have Dinah Elliott who is also the NAPEG councillor. And we have Ed Hoff who is the NAPEG Act and bylaw committee chair. And I'm not sure, Mr. Speaker, if Vince McCormick is behind me or not, but he -- no, he's not here, okay. Just checking. Quyananni, Mr. Speaker.
