Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I've had the honour of working with the sergeant-at-arms, Mr. Floyd Powder, in his role and capacity with the veterans' programs, and he's done some amazing work with that, and I hope -- like I tell people, when you retire it's not really retire; it's a change of careers and you can do whatever you want on our own time. And I hope he continues to do that. I want to thank him for his work here in the Legislative Assembly, and I want to wish him well in his future endeavorers.

I also want to congratulate a good friend of mine, somebody I grew up with in Hay River. When he moved to Yellowknife, I was a little disappointed he came across the lake. Some 25, 26 years ago, we started a career together in Justice with the corrections entry level training. And we started the same time, and I left a year earlier coming into politics and a year later he soon followed me into the ledge. And I'm honoured to work with him and work with him again and, you know, longtime friends from a small town in Hay River, we grew up together. When I saw the email that he was being accepted for the position, I was a little shocked that he was leaving Justice but hey, we all change our careers at some point. But, again, I'm excited for both of them and happy to be working with Mr. Comeau again. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
