Mr. Speaker, this weekend a Nunavut women's conference will be held in Rankin Inlet.
Women from all over Nunavut will discuss current women's programs, women's representation by and to government, and ways to support and develop women in leadership roles. They will make recommendations for consideration by the Nunavut legislative assembly. I am pleased to be a participant in this important event.
April 1 is fast approaching and I know Nunavut residents are excited about the new public government which will be in place.
I look forward to working with the premier elect, Paul Okalik, his cabinet elect and the new Nunavut legislature on the challenges facing our residents.
