Member’s Statement 9-20(1): Thanks and Congratulations

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to say congratulations to you as Speaker. In the early days we used to play hockey when we were young and good looking, now we're just good looking.

Also I want to say congratulations to the newly elected Premier R.J. Simpson, and Minister Wawzonek, Minister Cleveland, Minister Kuptana, Minister Semmler, and Minister MacDonald. And I want to say congratulations to all my colleagues, MLAs. I look forward to working with you.

I would like to thank all my constituents, my family, my friends, to represent you as the Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh MLA for the 20th Assembly. I will continue to work hard and then to advocate your issues to the newly elected Premier and Cabinet and to work together to look for solutions.

Again, I want to say small communities do matter. And I ask that we could work together to help address my own housing issues in my community, ice roads, capital infrastructure needs, and most importantly I need money for doing housing inspections so that we could start working together to address these emergent housing issues in my community.

Also I wanted to recognize all the legislative staff that are here and also the translators. And I want to say Season's Greetings to everybody here and to our home communities. To everybody in the, House I want to say mahsi. I look forward to working with everybody. Mahsi.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Member from Tu Nedhe-Wiilideh. Member for Great Slave.
