Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as a Minister in this government coming from my community of Fort Simpson, with the amount of time that we live in Yellowknife we need to go back to our communities as often as we can between session and all of the other duties we have to try and maintain a strong tie with our communities and our families.

We have to live here in this community, in Yellowknife and to maintain a strong family connection to our communities is very difficult and we need to try to get back to our communities as often as we can and maintain our ties.

This political life is not forever, we take it in chunks of four years at a time. Once we are done here, we have to go back to our community and pick up where we left off. It is good to maintain a continuous relationship with our families so once we go back we fit into our communities and our life as ordinary people after we have done our public service. Thank you.
