Masi, Mr. Speaker-elect. [Translation begins] The consensus style government is one that works together. Well, the reason I am running for Premier is because I want to see some changes. The previous government had difficulty working together, but, now that we have a new government, we all want to work together. Not only us as a government here but all the northern Aboriginal governments want to work together, but we also have to work with the federal government at the same time. We just had an election for federal government, which is Michael McLeod. I am very happy that he is re-elected. I know that he is there to support the people of the North. That is one of the reasons we run for office, because we want to see some changes, the way the people live in the North. People in the North have given us what they want us to do. We know that there are policies that we don't really like. There are lots of people who are in poverty who we have to help and listen and take care of them, so we have to have good communication. That is the only way to work together.
We also have to listen to our elders from the past. We have to listen to each other and speak as one voice. Here, we are sitting here as a government. We have to hold each other and support one another. Well, one of the important things is we have to listen to the northern people and support whatever it is that they want to have done either in their government or their regions. We have to support them for the next four years. That is one of the reasons I have put my name forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect [translation ends].
