Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then, could I indicate for the benefit of the constituents at Enterprise, that after they have had a chance to consider the issues of their wishes in respect of this entire report. I would try and get answers for them with respect to costs to the change to the legislation, the map, and the voters' list and all those sorts of things and get back to them and consult with them and that I would bring this motion back if they so wished. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member for Hay River is asking to keep one portion of this report and one recommendation. Now, there were other recommendations that were rejected. What happens with this report now?
Once we finish with this committee of the whole today, can some people wait until Ministers are travelling or whatever, certain ones that everybody knows how everybody voted here, it was a close vote, so I need clarification on this. Then, all of a sudden come out of the blue one day, in the 13th Assembly yet, with the same report in her hand and shoot it through? Is it dead, the other stuff, or is it still alive and kicking? That is what I need to know. If the will of this committee is to not move ahead with these other recommendations, is it finished, the debate then that is it? Then what?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was consulting with the clerk because this is largely a procedural issue that Mr. Morin has raised. This committee must either deal with this report by concluding it or leave the report open. However, it would always be open to any Member to move a formal motion in the House with respect to boundaries, as Members can move formal motions with respect to many items in the House. The rules governing motions would, of course, apply to that motion. In other words, appropriate notice would have to be given unless unanimous consent was received on that day. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. One more clarification, please, law clerk. If a motion is put in committee of the whole and there is certain intent of that motion and wording, then it is defeated, then can that motion be re-entered into the Legislative Assembly with the same intent with different wording? Please.
