Thank you. The motion is in order. To the motion. Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried. Bill 21 has had third reading. Third reading of bills.

It is my understanding that the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories is prepared to enter the Chamber and give assent. Mr. Clerk, could you ascertain if His Honour, the Commissioner, is available to give assent?

Commissioner Marion

Mr. Speaker, Premier and honourable Members, before I assent to the bill today, I have observed in my travels to three communities, that there is a need to recognize individuals in a special way. Mr. Speaker, as you know, the Commissioner's Office does have the Commissioner's Awards Program and this, of course, will continue. However, there are individuals who have shown that extra effort as a citizen of the North. These individuals have done civic and public duties to their community, as well as contributed to the well-being of all Northerners. Some are elders, some are former chiefs or councillors, some are just ordinary citizens and, Mr. Speaker, I feel these people need special recognition. Over the next few months I will be asking the advice of the Premier on this matter and look forward to announcing, with his concurrence, a program of special recognition.

Mr. Speaker, as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I am pleased to assent to the following bill:

Bill 21: Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 1999-2000.

Thank you.

--Applause
