Last week a report was published giving an update about where his administration is up to with the targets laid out in his Island Plan.
Alfred Cannan says there's plenty to be optimistic about:
Manxman repairs expected to exceed £2.5m
The Steam Packet's flagship has been out of action since July
Treasury Minister: Taxpayer footing Manxman repair bill
Steam Packet has previously said it would be paying
Island's youngest ever MHK says he has 'a lot to prove'
Eighteen-year-old Daniel Davison elected in Glenfaba and Peel
"Clearly I'm a candidate" for chief minister - Chris Thomas
