Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the past couple of weeks, I have had the opportunity to meet with several Ministers to discuss various issues of concern to my constituency, Tu Nedhe, and to the residents of the Northwest Territories. During the course of these meetings with the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, the Minister of Health and Social Services, the Premier and the rest of the staff, I was assured that many of the valid concerns would be addressed in a timely and effective manner, although I realize that many issues cannot always be resolved quickly and to everybody's liking at all times.
Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to share with this House my evaluation of the government's practices and priorities which relates to my constituency issues. Mr. Speaker, I am glad to say that this government is moving forward on addressing and resolving many issues of concern that have not received the same level of attention in the past. I am happy to see that there is cooperation, transparency and responsiveness to many concerns that are being brought to the government's attention in a manner that is both expedient and satisfactory on most accounts, like the creation of another family law clinic and the reinstatement of the language nest program.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend the government's cooperative teamwork approach to solving many outstanding problems, and I encourage them to continue to build my confidence in this government. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
