Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ve been in this House 16 years and just re-elected for a fifth term in a system and style of government that has been staunchly defended, for the most part, in this Legislature. This building was designed for consensus government. It well suits the Northwest Territories.

The way that I have done business in the past – and I’ll point again to the Water Strategy, the Wildlife Act, the Species at Risk Act – is to collaborate to involve the Aboriginal governments. We have a unique arrangement and relationship with Aboriginal governments. We have to continue that. We have to commit ourselves to that process. We have to think very carefully about any suggested changes to the system of government that we do have.

But, for me, I have been across this country east to west, I’ve been in the House of Commons when it’s in operation, I’ve been to other jurisdictions and I always think back, without any hesitation, that this system of government that we have here is designed in the North and suits the North. Thank you.
