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.
