Good evening. On behalf of Premier Cochrane, thank you to the Denendeh Development Corporation for the invitation to address you this evening. 

These are early days for our government but I hope you are getting a sense the renewed energy and commitment that we have as an Assembly. 

I am happy to say that this government has hit the ground running.

Everyone in this room and our recently elected leaders have a common goal and that is a desire to improve the economic future of our territory.

Mr. Speaker, partnerships between housing stakeholders and community partners is critical in supporting the housing needs of our residents. One such partnership has been between the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, the De Beers Group, and the Yellowknife Women’s Society. Over the last year, all three partners came together to provide 16 single-room semi-independent suites for homeless women. 

Mr. Speaker, as the Minister Responsible for Youth, I am proud to speak today about one of our most successful youth initiatives, the NWT Youth Ambassador Program.

From November 14^th to the 18^th of this year, the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs hosted the NWT Youth Ambassador Program orientation and training event in Yellowknife. I was pleased to attend this orientation along with the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, the Honourable Ms. Chinna.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome all my colleagues to this sitting of the Legislative Assembly. I also want to thank them on behalf of Cabinet and myself for selecting us for the Executive Council. You have chosen a hardworking, strong Cabinet that is committed to working collaboratively with Regular Members in the interest of all residents of the Northwest Territories.

La première ministre Cochrane et ses collègues du Conseil exécutif ont adressé un message clair au secteur des mines et de l’exploration des TNO la semaine dernière, à l’occasion du colloque annuel consacré aux sciences de la Terre : accroître l’exploration et l’exploitation des ressources minières constitue une priorité.

Aujourd’hui, R. J. Simpson, ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation, a pris la parole lors de la réunion inaugurale du Conseil consultatif pédagogique pour la transformation du Collège Aurora (Conseil consultatif pédagogique). Ce dernier vise à soutenir et à conseiller le sous-ministre délégué responsable du renouveau de l’éducation postsecondaire pendant la transformation du Collège Aurora en une université polytechnique.

Good morning.

It’s a pleasure to be here today for the ninth Project Management Conference. 

I am excited to be taking part of this conference this year in a different capacity than I have in previous years. In the past, I have been a moderator or participant, but this year I get to be here as the new Minister of the Department of Infrastructure.
