The show’s intro adds: ‘The Chief Minister also shares with Evie his hopes and aspirations for the Manx community along with some of his aims for the future. This was a fascinating chat with a very significant person who works at the very top of Manx politics. A huge thank you to Mr Cannan for generously giving up his valuable time.’
