I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and to outline some of the important work that lies ahead of us. As you know, our government has a plan to invest in the talent and skills of our people, build modern infrastructure, support a dynamic and innovative business climate, and provide better retirement security to people across the province. At the heart of this plan are partnerships with businesses, people and communities, which will help our government grow the economy, create jobs and implement solutions that have a meaningful impact on people’s lives. This balanced and comprehensive plan is underpinned by a focus on fiscal prudence. The mandate letter I received last month from Premier Wynne reinforced our government’s commitment to balance the budget by 2017-18 and to pursue increased openness, accountability and modernization. Parliamentary Assistants play a key role in delivering these priorities and have a responsibility to put our government’s plan into action.
