Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, certainly this is the first piece of social legislation in the Northwest Territories that will be collaboratively drafted by -- or sorry, with Indigenous governments, and so this is -- it's certainly not lost on me that this is a great opportunity to show how we can work on such an important part -- important piece of legislation together.

I also think that in order to do this work justice, it has to be done collaboratively in the Northwest Territories, and so not only is this an opportunity but it's something that really is a requirement for us to be able to move forward in really the spirit and light of what we expect not only from ourselves in this room but also what residents expect of us.
