Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And congratulations, again. Congratulations to our Premier-elect and to all the executive that were elected. And everybody that put their name forward, the one thing that I do believe is that every single speech that we heard yesterday, we all sit around this table, this room, wanting the best for the Northwest Territories. So I am hopeful, and I am happy that we're all in this together.
I'd like to thank my family who are -- who's always got my back, my husband and my two children, my constituents because I wouldn't be here without them. And although I've been elected to the executive, that's not going to change how I've interacted and how my office can assist you. And so that's one thing that I just wanted to make sure that all of my constituents know that they still will be represented.
I'd also like to just thank all of the people that I had on my team as well. My official agent, Janelle Wainman. She has been my friend since she was born, because I'm older than her, so she is one of my very first friends, and she's always been that friend and so I'm glad to have been able to have her for this election and last election by my side as my official agent, even though Denny tried to steal her. And to those elders that gave me advice along the way, not just in this election, throughout my past term and even, you know, the thing is when you're raised by elders -- and that's how we are in the communities -- it doesn't matter how old we are, so I stand here, I had advice from a very strong elder yesterday, and I thank her for that. And I will take her advice and I just want to make that known for her. Because that's what we do as people, we listen. We take the information. And our elders know best. And, you know, that's how we are going to work together as a 20th Assembly. So I want to thank you again, Mr. Speaker, and I look forward to the 20th Assembly working with you all.
