Thank you, Madam Chair. I think cooperation in between departments is extremely important. In leadership roles, sometimes you have to make tough decisions, and when we make decisions, we have to always realize the effects of the decisions that we are actually making. It affects everybody, because, you know, yesterday we had this forum and, obviously, some of the decisions that were being made were not okay. They were not okay to the Indigenous people, so I think not only the departments but also in the leadership role, you have to be able to listen. You have to have an open-door policy. You have to build partnerships. You have to have the necessary contact to ensure that the delivery is done properly.

You have to be thorough, because many times you give direction, and this happens many times, even at other levels of government. You give direction, and the direction was never taken properly. Then your partner that you are trying to serve, who might be another Indigenous government, everything was not the way it was supposed to be in the first place. So we have to make sure that, when we give direction to senior management, the direction is very clear and it's the way it should have been for the people who we serve, whether it be the whole Northwest Territories, whether it be for Indigenous governments, whether it be with the private sector, whether it be other levels of government. We have to ensure that we always understand that the decisions that are made at this level affect the people who we're serving.

I think, if you are able to understand that and be reasonable about it, and keep an open mind and think out of the box, I think that we could be successful. Thank you.
