Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to second this motion and sincerely wish the Members-to-be of Cabinet every success in the challenges ahead. I think I am qualified to say that serving as a Member of the Executive Council is a difficult job at the best of times. As our former colleague, Mr. Butters, used to say, "the easy decisions are made before they get to the Cabinet table; it is the tough ones that come to the Minister's desk and to Cabinet." It is a difficult job, and I think it is an especially difficult job in these difficult times that we are facing in the Northwest Territories. I know that all the Members will give these new Executive Council Members their support and understanding. I do sincerely hope that they will operate, along with the change that will be contemplated later this week, in a new and better climate of cooperation.

Mr. Todd and Ms. Mike have energy, enthusiasm, experience and skills to bring to the Cabinet table, and I wish them every success. Qujannamiik.
