Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This term challenge, part number 2.
Mr. Speaker, on the issue of progress, our measurables is based on achievable priorities.

From this, we can implement a disposable economy.
The NWT, Mr. Speaker, is home to an active mineral industry. In our transitional efforts to a low carbon economy, the federal government is leading the charge. Through this initiative a climate change development strategy has been completed.

Mr. Speaker, education is a pillar of healthy communities and career security. The Government of the Northwest Territories has adopted a partnership with the Government of British Columbia in delivering a new curriculum. Our joint management systems, regional and local education authorities, need the awareness and delivery supports.
