Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, initially when looking at this motion I had some concerns in the wording of this, and it talks about the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures will be given responsibility for monitoring and reporting on implications which implementation of self-government agreements will have on the power, structure and procedures of the Legislative Assembly.
Mr. Speaker, that's a very broad category, and my initial concerns were in the area that, for example, we're dealing with some of those acts as a government now and would those then be reported to that committee. But it has been clarified to me that in fact it would more do with the rules as we go on day-to-day business as a government, not looking at legislation and approving or disapproving of that legislation. The other committees would still have that role. This would just be an internal process, and once that was clarified, Mr. Speaker, I could look at it and support that motion. But initially when looking at it, I was concerned that this would open the doors to quite a different process and was concerned about that. But that has been clarified, and I've been informed that legislative matters and bills that we deal with would not be going to that committee, but would be going through the regular process. So with that and on that understanding, I would support this motion. Thank you.
