Member’s Statement 14-20(1):

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, I'd like to thank the constituents of my riding, Mackenzie Delta, from Tsiigehtchic, Fort McPherson, and Aklavik. I'd like to thank them for giving me this opportunity to represent them in this 20th Assembly of the Northwest Territories.

Furthermore, I would like to congratulate the Premier-elect and the Cabinet-elect for a successful campaign, and I look forward to working with you for the duration of this Assembly.

And I'd like to also congratulate my colleagues, the Regular MLAs, who will be trying to keep the executive accountable to their tasks.

And, finally, to the residents of the Northwest Territories, I wish you all the best for this holiday season and best wishes for the new year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
