Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak on the election this morning. I would like to congratulate Mr. Miltenberger on his election and subsequent appointment to Cabinet. I believe Mr. Miltenberger knows very well the way we feel on this side of the House and the issues that are facing the North and I look forward to working with him in addressing those issues.
One of the issues that is on the furthest point of our mind is the Department of Health and Social Services and the recommendations resulting from the Cuff report. I encourage the Premier and Cabinet that they seriously consider Mr. Miltenberger to be placed in that portfolio, as I believe Mr. Miltenberger has a strong desire to address the fundamental problems, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to working with him in that area if I can encourage the Premier in doing so. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
