Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. Aside from the strategic directives, projects under way for capacity building, just to name a few, are:

● lnuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway

● Mackenzie Valley Fibre Line

● Stanton Hospital

Mr. Speaker, there are other projects to come. As my colleague across the way once said, "the best social program is a job," and I totally agree.

Mr. Speaker, in closing, I recognize the efforts and dedication of the departments and the executive staff and their pledged after-hours work duties. I will remain a supporter for accountability and transparency of maximizing our public funds returns, and I look forward to working with this government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
