Last December, I was deeply honoured when the members

0:00:100:00:13

of the Democratic Unionist Party placed their trust in me

0:00:130:00:16

to be their party leader.

0:00:160:00:18

That night, I cited a quote from CS Lewis,

0:00:180:00:20

which can be found on his portrait in Stormont.

0:00:200:00:24

It said, "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."

0:00:240:00:29

The Northern Ireland of today is infinitely better than

0:00:290:00:32

the one I grew up in.

0:00:320:00:34

But we're still on a journey to reach our full potential.

0:00:340:00:38

I want to achieve that potential

0:00:380:00:41

and to make Northern Ireland the very best place to live and work and bring up a family.

0:00:410:00:47

At the Assembly elections,

0:00:470:00:48

I set out our five-point plan for Northern Ireland.

0:00:480:00:52

To create more jobs and increase incomes,

0:00:520:00:55

to protect family budgets,

0:00:550:00:57

prioritise spending on health,

0:00:570:01:00

to raise standards in education for everyone

0:01:000:01:04

and to invest in infrastructure for the future.

0:01:040:01:07

The people of Northern Ireland have given us

0:01:070:01:10

a huge mandate and I thank them for it.

0:01:100:01:14

Alongside my DUP colleagues, we are working to deliver for you.

0:01:140:01:19

With ministerial colleagues in education, economy,

0:01:190:01:23

agriculture and communities, we are in the Northern Ireland Executive

0:01:230:01:27

working to deliver that better future for everyone.

0:01:270:01:30

In June, the people of the United Kingdom took the historic decision

0:01:310:01:36

to leave the European Union.

0:01:360:01:38

And the DUP is committed to making a success of Brexit.

0:01:380:01:41

We will be working alongside others to ensure we get

0:01:410:01:45

the best possible deal for the people of Northern Ireland.

0:01:450:01:48

And we want to maximise the opportunities

0:01:480:01:51

whilst addressing the challenges.

0:01:510:01:54

The DUP played a very key role during the EU referendum

0:01:540:01:58

and we continue to ensure that Northern Ireland's voice and interests are heard at Westminster.

0:01:580:02:03

And we have the strong, united team,

0:02:030:02:05

with elected representatives in councils, at Stormont,

0:02:050:02:09

at Westminster and in Brussels, to ensure that Northern Ireland's

0:02:090:02:14

interests, YOUR interests, are advanced at this crucial time.

0:02:140:02:18

With your support, we will continue to be the party for Northern Ireland.

0:02:180:02:24

This weekend is my first party conference as leader.

0:02:240:02:28

I will address a party that is growing and looking forward

0:02:280:02:32

with confidence. The DUP is now the voice of Unionism.

0:02:320:02:36

Many have joined with us over this last 12 months.

0:02:360:02:40

I look forward to many more joining with us,

0:02:400:02:43

as we deliver a stronger and more prosperous Northern Ireland.
