Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, December 11, 1991, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that the following terms of reference of the standing committee on agencies, boards and commissions be approved: The standing committee on agencies, boards and commissions shall: a) have the authority to review and comment on the annual reports of agencies, boards, public committees,

councils and commissions to which the Legislative Assembly, the Executive Council, a Minister or the Commissioner make some or all of the appointments; b) inquire into such matters as may be referred to it by the Legislative Assembly; c) establish its quorum to be five Members including the Chair.

The standing committee on agencies, boards and commissions may, on its own authority: a) examine and report on the methods by which it believes appointments, terms and memberships, and remuneration of members should be made to agencies, boards, public committees, councils and commissions; b) review the operation of all such agencies, boards, public committees and commissions, with a view to improving operations, including reducing possible redundancy and overlapping; c) make recommendations on the continuance or reorganization of individual boards, agencies, public committees, councils and commissions.

Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will be seeking unanimous consent to proceed with this motion today. Thank you.
