Third reading of bills.

Colleagues, before we adjourn here today, I would just like to take a moment to thank you for your hard work and dedication over the past few weeks.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak at the start of the year, it was necessary, once again, to delay the start of this sitting. That was not an easy decision to make.

We have been fortunate that we have had no cases of COVID-19 at the Assembly during this sitting, and I believe that is, in part, due to the decision to delay the sitting. But Members, you also deserve some credit.

All Members of this House have been vaccinated in keeping with our vaccination policy, and you have been very careful in terms of following public health advice.

I know we are all looking forward to the upcoming end of the public health emergency. We are looking forward to returning to our new normal. This does not mean that COVID-19 is a thing of the past but it does appear that we, as a territory, have turned an important corner in terms of our ability to cope with and respond to the virus.

Members, I recognize that the past few weeks have been very busy in this House, in committees and with the business of government. I recognize that a great deal of work will continue while the House is adjourned. The work of government is ongoing and committees will continue to meet. I am proud of the work that has been done, and I look forward to the work ahead of us when we return.

Although we are and will continue to be busy, I hope that each of you are able to find some time for yourselves, your families, and your closest friends while we are adjourned. We all do our best to care for and represent our constituents while we are here but we also need to take time to care for ourselves and those closest to us. Thank you, colleagues.

Mr. Clerk, orders of the day.
