Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Finally, we refer back to recommendation number three, in which we called for ongoing research and study on the implementation of self-government by an objective institute or think tank. We believe the GNWT is best placed to consider the feasibility of such a body, and to work with federal and aboriginal stakeholders to make such a body a reality.

Therefore, 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 take the lead in the establishment of the arm's-length research body or think tank referred to in recommendation number three, and to the extent possible, collaborate with aboriginal, federal and community governments in this initiative. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Special Joint Committee on Non-Tax-Based Community Affairs is pleased to complete its work, much of which is documented in our interim report entitled, "Strengthening GNWT Support in Small Communities."

Our final report before Committee of the Whole today reiterates 13 recommendations made in the interim report and adds a 14th. On behalf of the members of the special joint committee, I urge all Members to support our recommendations as they are presented to committee as motions. It is only through the ongoing support and commitment of Members of this House and concrete and positive action on the part of the government that we can hope to make a difference in the lives of the residents in our smaller communities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
