We pray for great joy for Mr. McMorris in seeking to establish streamlined and effective governance across Saskatchewan communities. Father, we further ask for provision of expertise from a variety of sources, as needed, to provide insights and solutions where there are weaknesses or hurdles in achieving great governance in each of the areas of responsibilities covered by the Government Relations team. Amen.
