Mr. Speaker, it has been two years since COVID-19 changed our lives here in the NWT. When the outbreak started, we did not know what to expect, how long it would last, when vaccines would be available and how we would have to adapt.

Mr. Speaker, over the last three days, the community of Fort Smith and its residents have been faced with a difficult and scary situation that has shaken their sense of safety to the core.
As a result of a significant police operation in the community, residents were forced to lock themselves in their homes, businesses, or wherever they could seek safety, while the RCMP searched for an individual considered to be armed and dangerous. Thankfully the individual has been brought into custody.
