Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Today I would like to say something about the coming elections in tax-based municipalities. I have the tax-based municipality of Fort Simpson in my constituency. On Monday, people from the community will go to the polls to elect a mayor and councillors for the village council. I just want to say that running for municipal office is a very challenging three years. It is a very important three years.
We are talking about a lot of issues that are going to affect the lives of everybody. The main one is constitutional development in the north, and people in the communities have to be more involved in the whole process. There are outstanding land claim issues in my area, as well as economic development issues. People who are running are all good people. I just wanted to say whoever gets in, I will certainly be, as an MLA, willing to work hard with them to achieve whatever their goals are. I just wanted to say that. Mahsi. Thank you.
