Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to congratulate all my colleagues on their election or re-election. I want to recognize Mr. Menicoche, Mr. McLeod and Mr. Miltenberger today for being willing to put their names forward as Premier.

There are serious environmental challenges and some of these like our changing climate have steadily increasing impacts on many aspects of our northern society, including government costs. Given that the cause of these issues are pervasive and often result from how we do things, what actions would you like to see us take to address these across the broad spectrum of responses required? Thank you.
