Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, on the Constitutional Electoral Reform Commission, the final recommendation is for the establishment of a Constitutional Electoral Reform Commission. While Cabinet agrees with the need for a process to work in constitutional and electoral reform in the Northwest Territories this process will require a wide-reaching consensus from across the Northwest Territories to be successful. Another constitutional process driven solely by the Government of the Northwest Territories will not be successful. It is our view that the best forum for pursuing consensus on constitutional development is through an intergovernmental forum and this is for pursuing consensus. Such a forum would allow for a candid exchange of views between all governments in the Northwest Territories on the issue of constitutional development.
More importantly, it will allow for wide-ranging input into the process that would be put in place and the development of a broad consensus on the issues that need to be examined. Cabinet concurs with the intention of this recommendation and we are committed to raising this issue of a priority basis in the intergovernmental forum process. The development of a consensus from amongst all stakeholders would allow for a broadly supported recommendation on a constitutional and electoral forum process to the 14th Legislative Assembly. Thank you.
