Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I too would like to send my congratulations to the graduating class of East 3 Secondary School who will be graduating this Saturday. It's such an incredible milestone. Last year, we had multiple, multiple speakers at their grad, and I know I've heard from many of them before there's too much talking. So this year, I know that I won't be able to be there with them all but I am cheering them all on with pride. And as the MLA for Twin Lakes, I want to say that the community is proud of you, all of you. And whether your next step is work, college, university, trades, whatever your path takes you, carry your resilience, your roots, your strength, because these are the gifts that your ancestors have instilled in you.

I also want to say congratulations to all of the little kindergarten graduates who also will be graduating. Hopefully I will be home to be able to see them. And, you know, in Inuvik, we used to have two schools and so the grade 6 graduation from the elementary school to the high school is always a big event. I still remember my graduation. I had -- I think I had torn jeans from playing outside. And then I remember my daughter's graduation, I had to go and buy her, it was like a grade 12 graduation dress. So they've made this a big, big thing. And so I am very proud of all of them for their successes. And all of the Aurora College grads that just graduated from their programs and all of our graduates that are graduating from all of their post-secondary, coming home, you know, to work and, you know, take on new careers, I applaud you and I encourage you to keep learning. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
