Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures is tasked with the responsibility to review the Report of the Chief Electoral Officer and to make any recommendations the committee feels are warranted to the Legislative Assembly.

The committee tabled Committee Report 4-16(3), Report on the Review of the Report of the Chief Electoral Officer on the Administration of the 2007 Election on March 11, 2009. In reviewing the report, the committee asked for inputs from all candidates and the electoral officers who participated in the last election. It is hoped that the recommendations included in the report will support the Legislative Assembly in its desire to continually improve the processes used to administer territorial elections. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
