Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
Next Steps
Members of the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures wish to engage the general public in a dialogue on the development and refinement of laws, Members’ conduct guidelines, and enforcement mechanisms in support of high ethical standards befitting the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly.
Following this report, the committee will issue a discussion paper posing a series of questions on key issues to stimulate public consideration and feedback. The committee plans to conduct public hearings outside the capital in November and December, 2016. The meetings will be well-publicized; the committee invites everyone interested to attend, discuss the issues, and provide their advice. Written submissions are also welcome. The committee’s final report and recommendations will be tabled at the earliest opportunity in 2017. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
