As someone who would love to help work on these projects, I would like to know how you would handle these additional projects, or if you would just scrap them all-together.

Thank you for the question, following up a bit more on what Viet said, on day one, I plan on taking roll calls on all active members (per usual) and evaluating the ongoing projects in the ministry. From what I have been briefed on in the Assembly over the last several months, most of the ministry runs itself and requires only a little bit of intervention or assistance. I plan to keep it that way. That being said, if a project has not had enough internal support to continue operating, I won't hesitate to cancel it (perhaps after asking if anyone wants to join the ministry to help run the project). I do intend (as part of the roll call) to find out what I as the minister can do to assist the members of the ministry in achieving desirable outcomes.

Do you have any plan for something like this? We have been focused too much on infrastructure and with most of them done we need to steer the way into actual recruitment and engagement work.

I definitely would like to make sure that before I leave, a program for recruiting members into the ministry is fleshed out. This could be part of my general engagement and recruitment of new region members too. Building infrastructure is half the battle, and having people run the infrastructure is the next logical step.
