Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in the House here today to talk about the Anti-Poverty campaign here. In March of 2016 I had the opportunity to attend my first and the Third NWT Anti-Poverty Roundtable, "Building on our success". The roundtable theme focused on children, family support, healthy living, reaching our potential, safe and affordable housing, sustainable communities and integrated continuum of services.
The Territorial Anti-Poverty Action Plan was structured to build on successes and set priorities for the upcoming year and I am looking forward to the next one that is scheduled at the end of this month in Inuvik. Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased our Territorial Government is taking actions in reducing poverty in our remote communities, and I see the high need for this Anti-Poverty Campaign Conference in my Sahtu region. Therefore, later I will have questions to the appropriate Minister on supporting the invitation of holding that conference in the Sahtu region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
