Thank you, Madam Speaker. Again, my question will be directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Currently, our municipal elections in hamlets and settlements are held on the second Monday in December, a time when many people are on the land or away on Christmas vacation. Voter turn-out is often low for these reasons. A resolution at the NWT Association of Municipalities, Madam Speaker, requested that the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs prepare an amendment to the Local Authorities Elections Act to allow communities to set election dates which are more compatible to regional needs.

Madam Speaker, on August 18, 1993, the Minister at the time stated that he has instructed the department to review this request. I would like to ask the current Minister whether his department has completed this review. Thank you.
