AND WHEREAS, it is desirable to appoint a Minister as the fourth alternative to the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures;
NOW THEREFORE I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that Rule 87(2) of the Rules of the Legislative Assembly be amended by inserting "and the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures" after "Accountability and Oversight";
AND FURTHER, that the following be added to Rule 87(3), 87(3) will read:
The Membership of the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures shall consist of:
- a) four Members and one Minister; and
