[Member spoke in Inuktitut, interpreted as follows:] Mr. Speaker, I do not always have celebratory statements in this place, but although many people are still struggling, there are some things worth sharing. Nunavut reached a milestone because Tagak Curley's vision became a reality. I thank him for retaining Inuit laws, values and principles taught to him by our ancestors. I thank him for helping to modernize Inuit society by leading the way for Inuit to govern. Through his vision, community negotiators worked with elders and community members on what terms to include in what would later become the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. I thank the community negotiators.
