Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First of all, congratulations to our new Premier-elect and to our new Cabinet. I am very excited to work and collaborate with you.
Frame Lake, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting your trust in me. I am deeply humbled by the election results and promise you I am going to put everything I possibly can into working to represent you, your best interests, and those of the territory. This is not something I take lightly in the slightest and the importance of staying grounded and focused on constituency work is something I am strongly committed to. I want to thank everyone who took time out of their days and evenings to speak with me at the doors, send me messages, and share deeply personal stories about what is important to you and what you want your MLA to achieve.
Thank you to the other candidates who put their names forward. It was a great campaign, and I appreciated how respectful the tone of things stayed while we debated and fought to be the voice for this riding.
Thank you also to all the volunteers who helped me behind the scenes, to those who donated to my campaign, and everyone who voiced their support. I couldn't have done it without your help.
And an extra special thank you to my beloved partner Rheanna who has been my rock and brought so much peace into my life during the most intense and all-consuming thing I have ever done. And I would like to pay special tribute to my trusty dog Jake who stayed by my side for 13 of the best years of my life and passed away the day after the election. I will deeply miss you, my friend.
Again, thank you so much. I love this territory and care so much about this work. I can't possibly help but throw all of myself into it as I have already been doing. I am looking forward to getting down to business. Thank you.
Thank you, Member for Frame Lake. Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh.
