The Commissioner Of The Northwest Territories Gerald W. Kisoun
Please be seated. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker, Premier Simpson, Ministers, Members of the Legislative Assembly, and staff, and visitors in the public gallery. [Translation] INSERT* [Translation Ends] welcome.
I wish to acknowledge that the land on which we gather are treaty lands and the home to many Indigenous peoples, including the Akaitcho Dene, Tlicho, and Metis. We are grateful to be on this land. As we enjoy these warmer months, I would like to wish each of you a safe, healthy, and happy summer as you take your break and enjoy quality time with your families. Please travel safely on the land, on our waters, in the air, and on our highways. But you continue working for the betterment of all Northerners. Encourage and remind your families, friends, and people in your communities to be safe out on the land and to wear personal floatation devices, PFDs, when travelling by boat on our waterways.
As this sitting comes to a close, I wish the Members of this House good health and happiness as you enjoy the summer and continue work in your constituencies.
Now, as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bills:
Mahsi cho. Thank you. Quyananni. Hiyah. Merci beaucoup. Koana.

The Speaker Shane Thompson
Colleagues, I'd like to thank the Commissioner, the Honourable Gerald Kisoun for joining us here today to assent to our legislation. It is always a pleasure to have him join us in this chamber. Thank you, Commissioner.
Members, please join me to thank everybody that makes it possible to do our jobs here. We have and rely on a wonderful team of public servants and supporters. I want to let them know that we appreciate all they do for us. Our staff do everything from keeping the building open and operating safely to ensure that we are seen and heard on television, computers, and radios across the territories, to provide research and procedural advice.
As always, a special thank you to your interpreters and our pages. They remind us of where we came from and where we are going. I want to thank our interpreters for their participation in our elders' tours. Their presence help ground us, then when passion or politics take things too far.
Colleagues, this House is not scheduled to sit again until October. I know you will be hard at work during these months ahead. Use this time to reconnect with people in your communities, returning this fall with respectful, engaged debate, and some hard work. Our territory faces great challenges. It is our job to rise to these challenges. Thank you, colleagues. Now, let's go home to our friends and families. Don't forget to let them know how much support and encouragement matters to you.
Mr. Clerk, orders of the day.
