I rise today on behalf of the Liberal Caucus to pay tribute to Richard North

The Yukon loses a lot of writers. 

It’s the kind of place that inspires people, pulls them in from all around the world.  We draw more than our fair share of artists, musicians and writers, but we rarely get to keep them for long.  This is an inspiring land, but it isn’t an easy place to live.

I rise today on behalf of the Liberal caucus to pay tribute to Remembrance Day. On that day Canadians honour and remember our veterans and all who have served Canada during war, armed conflict and peace and commemorate their sacrifices.

Today I rise on behalf of the Liberal caucus to pay tribute to Movember, 2013. Movember is a month-long fundraising campaign where men start November with a clean-shaven face and then grow a stylish moustache throughout the month. Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Canada and around the world. This moustache-growing charity event — and the men with their “Mo’s” — help raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives.

William Bruce Bowie was born on June 3^rd, 1944, to Irene and George Bowie in Vancouver. He was the youngest of four, and with nine years separating him from the next youngest, you can guess that young Bill was his Dad’s unexpected war effort.

Mr. Silver: As we begin Geoscience week, I’d like to raise some questions that I’m hearing from the mining industry. While some problems on the mining horizon are beyond Yukon’s control, there are many things that we can manage right here at home, and that includes regulatory certainty. The government has brought forth changes to our mining legislation this fall that raise many questions about security of tender and regulatory uncertainty.
