I’d like to thank Members of committee for reading the report.

In conclusion, the Standing Committee on Government Operations encourages the commissioner to make the promotion of her role and office her priority and to exercise her power to make full use of her mandate in accordance with the Official Languages Act to ensure the GNWT complies with the spirit and intent of the act.

Committee recommendation: The Standing Committee on Government Operations recommends the GNWT table a comprehensive response to this report within 120 days.

That concludes the report of the Standing Committee on Government Operations on the review of the 2006–2007 Annual Report of the Official Languages Commissioner of the Northwest Territories.

Therefore, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that Committee Report 3-16(2) be received by the Assembly and moved into Committee of the Whole for consideration.

Motion carried.
