Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures has presented its Report on the Review of the Auxiliary Report of the Chief Electoral Officer on Issues Arising from the 2011 General Election.
The report contains 13 recommendations which, taken together, will help clarify, modernize and strengthen the NWT’s electoral system. These are important incremental changes to ensure the continued integrity and fairness of our elections.
The committee advises that these changes should be made in advance of the next election.
The committee thanks the Chief Electoral Officer for his diligence and everyone who provided public input or attended the committee’s hearings. I also have a number of motions.
