Thank you, Members. Once you have chosen your Speaker-elect, that individual will assume the chair of the Territorial Leadership Committee and will preside over your proceedings for the balance of the day.
With regard to some technical matters, Members should be aware that you are not required to turn on your microphones. This will be done automatically for you.
Also, in front of Members and built into your desks are the timing mechanisms. When speeches are being made, clocks will count down the time available to you, and you are asked to please be mindful of the time limits that have been set and agreed to amongst yourselves. I wish to make Members aware that your proceedings today are being broadcast live on the Legislative Assembly television network, as well as on social media. Our proceedings today are being simultaneously translated into the Tlicho, Chipewyan, South Slavey, North Slavey, Inuvialuktun, Inuktitut, French, and Gwich'in languages. I would also like to remind Members that, although this is a less formal committee than the House itself, Members are please asked to stand while they speak.
I understand Mr. Alfred Moses is also in the gallery, former Member and former Minister. Welcome, Mr. Moses.
