Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to also congratulate Mr. Miltenberger and Mr. Steen on their election to Cabinet. I would like to thank the Members who voted for me, who said they would vote for me and did. I would also like to thank Mr. Steen for indicating that he was successful on his third try because that indicates to me that perhaps there still is some hope. This was my second try. Perhaps there is still some hope, if I am re-elected, of getting on the Cabinet next fall.

At this time, I would also like to thank Mr. Todd and Mr. Arlooktoo for the work that they have done on Cabinet and for serving in this Legislature. I know that both of you have always been very forthright when I came to you and spoke to you about projects or programs that I was trying to getting some assistance on for Yellowknife, Detah or Ndilo. I appreciate that and wish you all the luck in the future. Thank you.

--Applause
