Thank you for the question. To continue on with what I was saying, we need to be on the federal government's radar. Politics, a lot of politics, is sales, and it's relationship-building. I have been able to do that over the last four years, I believe, anyways. I had relatively good relationships across the board in the last Assembly. There were always strained relationships between Cabinet and the Regular Members, but I prided myself on being able to work with people and to reach out. I think that's what I would bring. It's not just reaching out to the federal government. It's reaching out to the Indigenous governments, and it is understanding that, if we want more from Ottawa, we can't keep everything for the GNWT. We have to understand that our Indigenous governments are our partners, and, moving forward, we have to include them with equity shares in these projects. We have to make sure that we all benefit. I think that's the kind of attitude that we need going forward because we are stronger together. Thank you, Mr. Speaker-elect.
