"We are also continuing to work for the overdue delivery of the promised Irish language legislation and culture package."
The Mid Ulster MLA added: "As an Executive, the top priority has been and remains the response to COVID-19, ensuring the continued successful roll-out of the vaccination and booster programme across the population and rebuilding our economy to sustain jobs and livelihoods.
"When there is a unity of purpose, we can tackle the big challenges and get our society through.
"People want mature political leaders who will get things done.
"We must continue working together to solve the problems facing this society to ensure we go forward and deliver a better and progressive future.
"Our mission is to deliver on health, housing, education and jobs for everyone across the whole community.
"That's my commitment and that of my party to the public."
