Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories make the report as described in section 68 of the act publicly available. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yeah, thanks, Mr. Chair. There's a few things in the recommendation from the committee report that weren't necessarily captured in the committee motion. But the sorts of things that I would expect to see in an annual report that could be made publicly available include things like, you know, the number of permits that have been issued for elevators and lifts, the number of approvals, orders issued, whether there was actually any prosecutions or fines levied, inspections carried out; those kind of things.

The Minister did give us some assurance in the public hearing, the clause-by-clause review, that the details of the annual report would be specified prescribed in the regulations themselves. So that's a heads up to the Minister. And she actually committed to share the draft regulations with the committee ahead of time. So, once again, that's the kind of lens that I bring to these things, about making sure that the public has access to information. So that's the kind of information I think that people might be reasonably interested in knowing. If they have an elevator in their apartment building or something, is it actually in good working order, has it been inspected, they'll be able to go online and get reports and check to see if that kind of stuff is publicly available. So thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories proactively disclose the information contained in the registry of the act, described in section 13 of the act, making it publicly available. Thank you --
