Thank you, Mr. Chairman. On implementation, the standing committee on legislation recognized that certain proposals for revising the 12th Assembly's legislative process, if passed by this House, will require amendment to the Rules of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories.

Just to take note that I think the report addresses a number of concerns that our government has had with the legislative process, especially with regard to the increased public consultation. I would like, as I did with the other committee, to commend the committee on its work and say that certainly with the government's situation in terms of the more openness and the prior discussion of these bills, and also the tabling and the process, it certainly will allow broader public consultation. I feel that this time I should commend the committee for doing excellent work. Thank you.
