Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Congratulations to you and to Premier-elect, Mr. Kakfwi and his Cabinet. I think some time of reflection should be taken now. To reflect on the journey we just came from, the campaign and the new election on December 6th.

I would like to thank my campaign team who put a lot of effort into making a successful run and bringing me back here. Even though my riding has been split into two in this 14th Assembly, I still view it as one community. I look forward to working on behalf of our community as a whole. As I said in Caucus, welcome to the family.

For four years, we were like brother and sister. Friends come and go, but you are stuck with family. I am here and I am going to do my best. Something I demand of myself is hard work, integrity and honesty. I will do that and I will demand the same of ourselves and our government. I look forward to working with you, but most of all I look forward to getting back home. Thank you.
