Mahsi, Madam Chair. First, I just want to say that on behalf of the technical working group and Intergovernmental Council's secretariat, mahsi, and give some appreciation to all the Members of the Legislative Assembly for the process convention and for working through that together with us.

The collaborative process is set up through the Intergovernmental Council. They're extremely, extremely important, and they're extremely important tools for reconciliation, for recognition of the essential role that Indigenous governments have in land and resource management, and for respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples across the various regions of the Northwest Territories.

From our perspective, the current draft of the act, Bill 74, is a carefully considered and thoroughly considered process, including intensive collaboration with the standing committee. And while fully respecting the authority of the Assembly, it is fair to say that the technical working group of the Intergovernmental Council hopes that the act moves through this final legislative step intact and as is given the considerable and, we think, groundbreaking collaborative effort that has gone into it.

More work is needed to fine tune the details, but the technical working group believes that that will appropriately be done through the regulations. So, overall, the technical working group feels that Bill 74 properly and accurately reflects the goals and the objectives of the Intergovernmental Council, and we fully support the bill in its current form, and we believe no further amendments are needed.

We do fully expect and trust that this motion, and the topics raised under this motion, and all the other motions, will be carefully considered during the regulation making process. Mahsi
