Good Evening,
Your Excellency Ambassador Luo, Consul General Wang, Hon. Robert R. McLeod, Premier, Members of the Legislative Assembly, distinguished guests and Ladies and Gentlemen.
Thank you . It’s good to be here again. Hay River has become a familiar and welcome stop for me over the last four years.
Mr. Speaker, NWT’s commercial fishery has been hit hard over the past decade by a number of circumstances well beyond its influence or control.
Mr. Speaker, this is National Tourism Week and across the NWT we are celebrating with events ranging from the “Be A Tourist In Your Own Town” promotion here in Yellowknife to community picnics, film screenings, open houses, and complimentary tours of local attractions.
Mr. Speaker, economic opportunity comes in all shapes and forms. This summer, it is coming to the Northwest Territories in the form of morel mushrooms – a delicacy highly sought after by food markets around the world.
