Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect. I guess the three areas that are in transition that I think it's very important for us to follow through on, the first one is on selective infrastructure funding. There were projects that were in the hopper, specifically the Mackenzie Valley Highway, the Whati all-weather road, the Slave Geological Province overland route extension. We want to follow up to make sure those funds and infrastructure money are identified with and dealt with.
In the second bundle of infrastructure projects there is the Canyon Creek project. I would like to see that addressed.
Another area that we were not able to finalize when we came to the end of the 17th Assembly was on energy. We had a lot of discussion on that. We had some good intentions for our government to invest some significant resources in alternative and renewable forms of energy so that we could have our citizens become more self-reliant, independent on producing their own energy and reduce the demand on energy generation and also to provide increased interest in energy conservation and energy efficiency. That's an area that's very important for the 18th Assembly to deal with.
Of course, devolution. There is still unfinished business we need to deal with. We need to put a northern stamp on it. We need to deal with the MVRMA process. When we left it, we said we would review it after five years. Maybe the new federal government might be willing to advance it so we don't have to wait five years for a review. We still have to negotiate the management of the offshore in the Beaufort. That's a very important area.
On Nutrition North, obviously I would be prepared to take it over if the federal government is ready and willing to turn over the money, the $40 million they are going to invest in it over four years. If we can take that money and design our own program, I would be more than willing to take it over. Thank you, Speaker-elect.
