Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this Assembly recommends that any prior reports on protected areas should be developed in collaboration with the management boards established under this act. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Under section 97 of the bill, it says that:
"The Minister shall table a report to the Legislative Assembly at least every five years with respect to status of candidate protected areas, state of protected areas established under the act, and the overall state of the protected areas network in the Northwest Territories."
So that is a reporting requirement on the part of the Minister every five years. I think the intent of committee here was to just make sure that that is a collaborative effort moving forward, and that the management boards that are actually established for each of the protected areas would have some involvement in preparation of the report and evaluating the state of the protected system network moving forward, so I think it is a helpful recommendation. I am sure the department would probably do this anyway, but it was an observation on the part of the committee that this would help improve reporting and collaboration moving forward, which I am sure is the intent of everyone. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
