Statements in the House

Question 21-12(4): Utilization Of Country Foods In NWT Institutions November 18th, 1993

My question is to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism. His department and the NWT Development Corporation have placed an emphasis on developing and supporting country food processing operations to bring economic benefits to hunters, fishermen and employees in the processing end of the operation. I support this initiative. Does the Minister's department have any plans to enhance and expand the viability and success of these country food operations by utilizing their products in NWT institutions such as student hostels, correctional facilities et cetera?

Appreciation Of John Ningark, Mla November 17th, 1993

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

---Applause

My first statement in this House is a statement of appreciation. Mr. Speaker, I met Mr. Ningark in 1979-80 when we were both settlement secretaries for our respective communities. Now, 13 years later, we are both Members of this House addressing many of the same issues we dealt with back then.

When I met Mr. Ningark, he was an easy-going, hard working, caring and unselfish individual. Today, although we have both aged -- him more so than I --

--Laughter

...he remains the same caring, unselfish individual.

It is those traits that lead him to take on the additional responsibility of acting as the Kitikmeot representative of this Legislative Assembly, upon the resignation of the former Member this past winter.

Mr. Speaker, it is a great honour as my first Member's statement in this Assembly and our new home, to extend the appreciation and gratitude on behalf of my constituents and I, to my friend, the honourable Member for Natilikmiot for acting as our representative from February 5, 1993 until my election on May 10 of this past year. Qujannamiik, Mr. Ningark.
