...as the Clerk of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly.
On March 9, 1983, our former colleagues in this House voted on a motion to appoint Mr. Hamilton as the Clerk of this Legislative Assembly. The motion was carried unanimously. If a similar vote was held today, I am sure the result would be the same.
