Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following document, Tabled Document 11-12(4): Report from the Fort Providence/Cambridge Bay Strategic Planning Workshops. Mr. Speaker, as the Premier noted in her statement earlier today, this document summarizes important deliberations on matters related to division and the operation of government leading up to 1999.
Topics covered in the report include: the mid term review of the Premier and Ministers; the operation and accountability of standing committees; guidelines for Members' conduct; events flow chart to 1999; legislative amendments for elections and electoral boundaries; information exchange and decision-making on division issues; and, education, training and human resource issues.
Mr. Speaker, this report is the first strategic planning document produced by all Members of this House. The strategic planning workshop forum has proven to be a strong vehicle for consensus building, especially in dealing with the many difficult issues that will result in a fundamental restructuring of government in the Northwest Territories as a result of division in 1999. Mahsi.
