Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee would like to report its consideration of Bill 18, Cities, Towns and Villages Act. Bill 18 received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on May 29, 2018 and was referred to the Standing Committee on Government Operations for review.

Based on our public consultations and submissions received, I would like to advise the House of the committee's wish to extend our review of the bill with the intention of reporting back to the House on or before October 26, 2018. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, in accordance with rule 75(1)(C), I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River North, that the review period for Bill 18 be extended to October 26, 2018. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
