Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, people in the gallery. Mr. Speaker, here today, I speak on the area of the Sahtu that I represent and the potential I think we can contribute to the economy. It’s been heard many a time since our working in this northern environment, in this building in particular, over the last nine weeks. I feel in my Member’s statement I can highlight some of the principles that the Sahtu region may contribute to the growing economy to create a kick-start to that area. In particular, I am glad that we have this wide-range of list of priorities which focuses on all departments affecting our region. We also realize that there is a high social problem in our area and limited resources and physical positions that we continue facing over the decision-making efforts of our four-year term. In doing so, we should recognize the principles of our priorities that would capitalize and inject towards the projects that are identified. I look forward to our diverse knowledge of experience of the leadership in this territorial government. I think, collaboratively, we can really make a positive difference within four years and look at our progress and measure it doing our midterm review. Later on in the day, I will have questions on a particular project, the famous Canol cleanup, for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
