(February 7, 2013) - Mr. Speaker, this Assembly started with a four year budget plan, with the first two years focusing on fiscal discipline to build our cash reserves in order that in the final two years we could have an enhanced infrastructure budget. The Budget presented today is the second budget of the 17th Legislative Assembly and represents the continued cooperative approach enabling us to meet the objectives of our four year plan.
(February 7, 2013) - Speaker Jacobson, Premier McLeod, Members of the Legislative Assembly, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to be here today.
(February 6, 2013) - Good morning ladies and gentlemen. As the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment for the Government of the Northwest Territories, I am here to extend a warm welcome to each of you to NWT Days here at Winterlude.
(February 6, 2013) - Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to echo Premier McLeod’s previous comments and thank you all for coming to this tourism reception.
(February 1, 2013) - We're here in Ottawa to put the focus on the NWT. We've been having very focused meetings with federal ministers and stakeholders about the future of our territory. We're looking for partnerships to get us to the next step, to help us to develop a sustainable economy that supports healthy, vibrant communities all over Canada's North and maintains Arctic sovereignty. We know what we want and we are focused on making those things a reality.
(January 31, 2013) - Honourable ministers; excellencies – honourable representatives of foreign missions; honourable senators; members of parliament; Aboriginal leaders, distinguished members of the press; ladies and gentlemen

(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.
