Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I would like to extend a heartfelt recognition to master warrants officer retired and sergeant-at-arms Floyd Powder for his dedicated service and hard work within this Legislative Assembly. Floyd's deep commitment to honouring our veterans and serving the territory and Canada is reflected in his advocacy for Metis veterans and efforts in identifying grave sites as part of the Indigenous veterans' initiative, these plus many more activities which Floyd has participated in.
As a valued NWT Metis Nation beneficiary and military veteran, Floyd has represented the NWT Metis Nation and all veterans related issues. I am deeply thankful and proud to recognize Floyd, a member of my community in Thebacha, for his honourable contributions.
As Floyd embarks on this new chapter in retirement, I wish him all the best. Thank you, Floyd, for your service and dedication. And I'd also like to welcome Chris Comeau to his new role as sergeant-at-arms. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
