Good afternoon, and thank you for attending the first Premier’s Territorial Address.
This 20th Legislative Assembly is just over a year old, and in that time, we’ve seen triumphs and tragedies, new opportunities, and familiar challenges. Political shifts at home and abroad are forcing us to reassess long-held assumptions about how the world works. Today, we take stock of the past year, look ahead to the future, and shed light on governance in the Northwest Territories.
