Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am going to be speaking Inuktitut. (Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think we all remember I made a motion two years ago that I requested to have a review on Cabinet Members. I am very pleased today that I am able to speak on my concerns. For those Cabinet Members that I elected, I really liked the words they spoke at the time when they were campaigning. The Honourable Don Morin, at the time when he was campaigning, I really liked what he had indicated at the time. There are four Ministers who are Members of the Nunavut Caucus. As well, there are four Members from the Western Territory. I like the fair split. They have indicated they would be representing all the people of the Northwest Territories equally.
The people of our constituencies have not forgotten what we had said at the time when we were campaigning. I have tried really hard to keep my word to my constituents. For those Ministers we have elected, especially the Premier, indicated at the time a document which was called Agenda for a Change. There are ten items that we wanted to put forward as priorities up-to-date. Few of those items have changed.
At this time, I would like to ask a question to all the Members of the Legislative Assembly. Have we kept our promises that we indicated? Especially for social issues, high cost of unemployment, and empowerment to the communities? I am not sure if we have kept our word. As I was speaking earlier, I was speaking on behalf of Clyde River. The community of Clyde River would like to put on hold community empowerment at this time because they felt they had to prepare themselves as well as getting assistance from the government departments before they go ahead. I was concerned about this issue. Perhaps this question would be more directed to the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs. If we would be giving empowerment to the communities, I feel we should help the communities to prepare before they can go ahead, especially to the hamlets, as they are the municipal governments.
Mr. Chairman, I do not have too much to say. First of all I would like to thank Kelvin Ng. He was able to travel to Pangnirtung, Broughton Island and Clyde River with me as well as Don Morin for travelling with me to Pangnirtung, Jim Antoine, Manitok Thompson and Goo Arlooktoo for travelling with me to those three communities.
I will be expecting for this government to work together in the future. We have a couple more years to work together. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. (Translation ends)
