We beat fear with hope. We beat cynicism with hard work. We beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together. - Justin Trudeau , excerpt from victory speech last night

Justin Trudeau will be Canada's Prime Minister. And while Mr. Trudeau will arrive in office with his own agenda, he will also face a long line of people with their own ideas about what he needs to accomplish over the next four years.

And so, today we asked a wide-range of Canadians about what they think the Prime Minister should focus on when it comes to the economy, the environment, health care, Aboriginal issues, justice, and science.

Here's a preview of some of the letters we aired:

Perry Bellegarde would like the government to focus on the living conditions of many First Nations people in Canada and address the gap between their quality of life and the lives experienced by most non-indigenous Canadians. Perry Bellegarde is the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations.

Jim Gray is the Chair of the Energy Group of Brookfield Asset Management and the former chair of World Petroleum Congress. He shared his wish list on behalf of the energy sector.

Bessma Momani is a senior fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation and a political science professor at the University of Waterloo. She's hoping Canada's next Prime Minister will commit to the softer side of diplomatic engagement.

What would you like our new Prime Minister to focus on?
