Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The second recommendation from the committee report, that I would also make a point of motion now is;

I MOVE that this committee recommends that the government, through an established joint working group, continue to work toward the establishment of an independent body that would be responsible for safeguarding the values of a professional civil service;

AND FURTHER, that such a body or commission would be established as an independent, arm's-length entity to hear appeals and to report to the Legislative Assembly annually on the Northwest Territories public service;

AND FURTHERMORE, subject to further direction, that body or commission would assume such other human resources roles assigned to it.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
