Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect, and congratulations. Voters voted for change. It wasn't just to change the faces at the table here, it was to change how we do business and to get results.

As part of this government's leadership process, the Premier and the Executive Council have a responsibility of establishing a clear and concise mandate to govern the next four years of the 18^th Assembly.

My question to the candidates is: Are you willing and will you commit to restructuring the senior management and operational structure of the GNWT and public service to better serve the mandate and the people of the Northwest Territories?
