Thank you, Mr. Chair. One of the first things that I think you need to establish is a good working relationship with your department and the regional centres to build that relationship, build that trust, work on their expertise, their knowledge. A lot of them have been employees with the government for a number of years. However, to find solutions, you do have to question the department, and you question the department not only with your experience, but also with experience and comments and direction from Regular Members, from Indigenous governments, from our partners that we work with on a regular basis, and I think we've done that. We listen to people in the Northwest Territories. We bring that back to the table, and we give direction to the department to make those decisions. As you heard Minister Schumann say, some of those decisions come to the Cabinet room and rely on Cabinet expertise, and knowledge, and input as well to make those decisions, but some of it also comes from working with committee and listening to committee. I think over the last two years being Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, we have seen some significant changes. Some of them might not have been very welcomed at the beginning, but those changes are going to make for a brighter future, better outcomes, better results for residents, for our families, and that's direction I've given as Minister of Education, Culture and Employment since I've been the Minister. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
