Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that an existing GNWT department, ministry or agency with designated responsibility for taking a coordinated approach to implementation should develop an action plan for preparing communities, regions and individuals for the implementation of self-government, including appropriate mechanisms for effective communications and consultations with these stakeholders;

Further, Mr. Chairman, such an action plan should address the need for interdepartmental and intergovernmental coordination; and

Furthermore, consideration should be given to establishing a dedicated policy unit within this department, ministry or agency to deal with transition issues and over-arching implementation issues that might affect the structures and operations of the GNWT and Legislative Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
