Mr. Speaker, in his address last month, the Premier outlined how we are going to achieve the vision described by this Legislature in Towards a Better Tomorrow. I am very pleased to be able to provide specifics about the investments we intend to make in the coming fiscal year.

We are prepared to make investments. We are prepared to be bold. We expect results and will be monitoring those results. But I want to reiterate the challenge Premier Kakfwi made last month. In making these investments, we need and expect Northerners to work with us. We expect individuals to become trained, to become educated and to seek out the jobs that will become available. We expect businesses to become competitive, and to look to the growing economy for opportunity. We must all work together.
