Quyananni. I'd like to recognize our interpreters from Inuvik, from the Inuvialuit interpreters, Lillian Elias and Valerie Steffanson. Quyananni for all the hard work that they do for us. And, you know, I often enjoy tuning into the channel and listening and just learning some of the words again. So I really appreciate that. Quyananni, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Member for Inuvik Boot Lake. Recognition of visitors in the gallery. Member for Yellowknife South.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this whole session I've had two very hardworking pages from Yellowknife South, Mesha Leonce and Morgyn Martiniuk. I was hoping to catch a day when I knew they were both in the room, but I don't know I quite caught that. They're in the building, they've been doing this all week, and thank you very much for their hard work.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize the interpreters as well too who have been with me since 2019. I appreciate their work, I appreciate their broadcasting and interpreting with our proceedings here in the North Slavey language, Ms. Sarah Cleary and Ms. Theresa Etchinelle. Your work is very much appreciated. Mahsi.

Thank you, Member for Sahtu. Recognition of visitors in the gallery. Member for Monfwi.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to acknowledge two Tlicho citizens attending school in Yellowknife, Mika Mckenzie and Emily Bishop. I would also like to acknowledge and thank all the interpreters for a job well done, and especially to Tlicho interpreters Jonas Lafferty and Mary Rose Sundberg. And now I see Lena Drygeese. So I would like to say thank you to all of them. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Monfwi. Recognition of visitors in the gallery. Member for Hay River North.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to recognize a page from Hay River North who has been with us this week, Mr. Nicolas Graham. Right now he's a page, and you might see him sitting around the room but I'm confident that one day he will be sitting in one of our seats. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also would like to thank all the translators, Jonas Lafferty, Lena Drygeese, Tom Unka, Mark Casaway. Also my CA, Shirley Tsetta. Also, I'd like to recognize and say thank you to all the clerks and the staff and the pages, and especially the cooks that were providing meals. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also want to thank the interpreters, but I also want to apologize to them. I know that I am one of the ones that's all a repeat offender for speaking too quickly in the House, and I know they all bear with me and I appreciate it. I also want to thank the staff and advisors for our work; it's been a tough one scheduling the Regular Members with all of our interests and wants and they work really hard. And as well the pages, because they're always fun to have and I haven't looked once to see my water glass at a low state. And of course my constituency assistant Maggie who is always teaching me and I am learning from. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Great Slave. Recognition of visitors in the gallery. Acknowledgements. Oral questions. Member for Hay River South.
