Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Conclusion

Considerable progress has been made toward realizing our mandate priorities, but there is much room for improvement. We have set out broad directions for more focused attention. Specific comments and targeted areas for improvement are outlined in appendix A, which for convenience follows the format of our mandate. Performance on the individual items listed below is a detailed accounting of progress on our mandate and the state of our promises to the people. It bears repeating that we are fully accountable for this record as Regular Members and Cabinet. We must deliver on our promises or be accountable for not doing so.

The committee looks forward to our next steps and to updating the mandate to guide our work over the next two years. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife North that Committee Report 12-18(2): Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning Report on the Progress Review on the Mandate of the Government of the Northwest Territories, 2016-2019, be received by the Assembly and moved into Committee of the Whole for consideration. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
