Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect. I think we're actually in an incredible position now that we have a Member of Parliament who is actually in the governing party. He also happens to be the brother of one of the Members of this Legislative Assembly. So, I think we've got a great opportunity to start building new relationships in Ottawa. We also have Members who have key relationships with different bodies and different groups in Ottawa. I think - this is a consensus government - we all must work together. We must utilize the relationships that we have and build upon those relationships.

If elected Premier, I'm intending to go down to Ottawa to meet with the Prime Minister and other Ministers, to start articulating some of the challenges and desires that we have as an Assembly of the 18^th Legislative Assembly.

But when it comes to some of the more specific projects that we're trying to move forward here in the Northwest Territories, it can't just be us. For example, things like the Mackenzie Valley Highway. We're going to need to make sure that we take leaders from the Sahtu and the Deh Cho with us when we go to Ottawa, so that we can really clearly articulate needs of people. I think we're talking the road into Whati. We're going to need to bring representatives from the Tlicho who can really talk to the needs. We're going to have to get onto the same page with these different governments, these different organizations, so that we're talking from the same page, from the same script, and we're looking for the same thing. I think those are the types of relationships that we need to develop, and we need to make sure that we're working together with our partners and that we're going to Ottawa with a common message. If we have a couple of asks, we'll get a lot more headway than if we have a thousand asks. So we need to, as an Assembly, start focusing our asks on what are the big picture items that we want to get out of Ottawa. Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect.
