Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think there is just a bit of a misunderstanding here. I would urge Members, if they have got the report in front of them, if you can turn to page 9 of the report. You will see at the top of it, and I will just take a moment, Mr. Chair, to read.
What we are proposing here, what the committee proposed is replacing the current Oath of Office. The current Oath of Office is found at the top of page 9, and it is pretty short. I will just read it as follows -- we are not proposing changing the conduct guidelines themselves, although that is the subject of the next recommendation. The current oath which is what we are talking about replacing here, it reads as follows:
"I, Member's name, do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear that I will duly and faithfully, and to the best of my skill and knowledge, execute the powers and trust proposed as a Member of the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly so help me God."
That is what is in the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act. It is a requirement to assume offices and you have to swear this oath.
What the Committee has recommended is some additional items to add into the oath to tie together the conduct guidelines, the Code of Conduct. That is what this is really aimed at. We are not trying to sneak anything by anybody. It is about tying together the tools that we have available to us to ensure that the Code of Conduct, if we develop one, and I think that is the subject of the next recommendation. It is about tying these things together. I hope that all Members can support this. We are not trying to do anything here. This was actually adopted from Newfoundland and Labrador. This is the Oath of Office, essentially, that they used. What we did was adopt their Oath of Office. We are just simply replacing, or suggesting that the current oath be beefed up to reference the Code of Conduct, the Members' Conduct Guidelines. That is all it is. Thanks, Mr. Chair. I hope that everybody can support this. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to request a recorded vote again. Thank you.
