Thank you, Mr. MacDonald.

Before we begin, I would like to thank those in the public gallery for attending and those watching at home for joining us here for the first meeting of the Territorial Leadership Committee of the 20th Legislative Assembly. Welcome.

I would also like to draw Members' attention to the presence of Premier Cochrane, Member of the 18th, 19th Legislative Assembly, who is currently Premier, and also the Languages Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, Brenda Gauthier.
