Bill 27 has had its third reading.
Colleagues, I would like to thank the Pages who have joined us in the Chamber during this sitting, the interpreters who have been with us each day, and the contractors who have contributed to the success of this sitting as well. We appreciate the hard work and dedication that you show each day.
Today, we will conclude the second session of the 18th Legislative Assembly. The third session is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, October 19, 2017. Before we conclude, I would like to take this opportunity to remind everybody that the Mid-term Review Committee will gather in this Chamber tomorrow, October 5th, at 9:00 a.m. to commence the mid-term review.
Early in the life of this Assembly, we, as Members, committed to hold a public mid-term review in an effort to demonstrate our shared commitment to greater transparency and accountability. Our standing committee on rules and procedures has considered the matter and recommended a process which has been agreed to by all Members of this House.
The proceedings of the Mid-term Review Committee will be televised live across the NWT on local community channels and direct-to-home satellite on the Bell and Shaw Direct networks. It will also be broadcast via Facebook live on the Legislative Assembly Facebook page and on CKLB Radio on Thursday evening from 7:30-9:30 p.m. The public and media are invited to observe the proceedings of the 18th Legislative Assembly's Mid-term Review Committee from the public gallery.
Mr. Clerk, will you ascertain the Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, the Honourable Margaret Thom, is prepared to enter the Chamber and prorogue the second session of the 18th Legislative Assembly.
