(January 25, 2013) - Good evening, I am very pleased to be at this year’s Fur Harvesters Auction Annual Convention. It is nice to see some familiar faces from my life before I became Premier.
I want to congratulate Fur Harvesters Auction on its largest and most successful opening fur auction earlier this month. I expect this will be another great year for the fur industry and your work is a big part of that success.
I’d like to talk to you tonight about the role of the fur harvesting industry in the Northwest Territories.

(January 18, 2013) - I was saddened to hear of Dr. Robertson’s passing on Monday, January 14, 2013. It was during his ten years as Commissioner that the current borders of the Northwest Territories were recommended, and our strong, unified territory owes its beginnings to his leadership. He served with the first, second, third and fourth Legislative Councils of the Northwest Territories, the forerunners of our fully elected Legislative Assemblies.

HAY RIVER (November 28, 2012) – An intergovernmental agreement has been signed between the Northwest Territory Métis Nation (NWTMN) and Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) as part of 2012 NWTMN Annual General Assembly activities.
Mr. Speaker, on September 12th, negotiations towards a Délįnę Final Self-government Agreement reached a significant milestone. After many years, the negotiators have agreed on the draft text of a Final Self-government Agreement and financial agreement. This achievement is important as it lays the basis for the Parties to ratify the Final Agreement. As Mr. Yakeleya noted when this was announced last month, the move towards self-government complements the Sahtu Comprehensive Dene and Metis Land Claim and gives Délįnę the opportunity to make their own history.
