Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne, for the question. In my speech I indicated that past predicts future, and if you look at the way I have done business in the past, I have been very collaborative with committee. As a Minister, I ensured they had information on the projects we were working on, and we worked collaboratively together on a number of bills: the Mental Health Act, the Child and Family Services legislation, as well as the Hospital Insurance legislation that allowed us to move to one authority.

In my speech I also indicated that, moving forward, I would like to have mandate letters come out to all the Members to have discussions on. But in those mandate letters I want to be very clear on what the role of Ministers are, how they will work with committee, how they will be required to travel to communities throughout the Northwest Territories and engage in public discussions with residents across the Northwest Territories.

In this House it is about relationships; it is about working together; it is about being willing to come down the hall and have conversations with Members and having your door open so that Members can come into your office and have discussions as well. I have already started to do that in this Legislative Assembly. I have tried to engage in dialogue with all the Members in this House and I will continue to do that. This is about a partnership; this is about working together; and I am committed to that action. Thank you.
