Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, these are the remarks from the Report on the Review of Rewriting the Liquor Laws of the Northwest Territories: A Legislative Action Paper. The Standing Committee on Legislation read into the record its Report on the Review of Rewriting the Liquor Laws of the Northwest Territories: A Legislative Action Paper, on March 19, 1995.

The standing committee found this paper difficul to review insofar as the paper did not endorse a specific course of action for legislating liquor in the NWT. The paper did, however, invoke much emotion and discussion.

Although unanimity on specific areas for change was not reached, the standing committee clearly heard from the public that now and more progressive liquor legislation for the Northwest Territories was required. The Standing Committee on Legislation strongly urges the government to begin the drafting of new liquor legislation for early introduction in the 13th Assembly. That's the report.
