Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would give notice that on Monday, October 27, 1997, I will move the following motion:

Now therefore, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Iqaluit, that the Legislative Assembly request the Executive Council to undertake a review of the Government of the Northwest Territories guidelines and procedures respecting the awarding of contracts through the use of requests of proposals;

And further, that the guidelines and procedures be reviewed to ensure inclusion in application of the principles of fairness, equity and transparency;

And further, that this review be tabled during the February sitting of this Assembly.

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