Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. Yeah, sorry. I misspoke; I'm really tired. But is this a one-time increase to the short-term borrowing limit? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Also happy to clarify that, Madam Chair. I do think these are all questions that folks may have generally in the public. So the main estimates every year has included upon it is a page that has all of the borrowing and every year, including when we do the next main estimates process or when the next Assembly does the main estimates process, that page will have on it a new borrowing plan. That borrowing plan would take into account our cash balances for the -- in terms of short-term borrowing, it would take into account the cash balances that we're at once we know what advances we might have received from the federal government or what other financial supports we might receive from the federal government. So every year we go through this process with main estimates. It considers -- again, it considers all of what's coming in and all of what is expected to go out. So the main estimates is where you will see the new short-term borrowing year over year. Thank you.

Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I think that was a detailed explanation of yes, this is a one-time increase. But maybe I'll just turn it back to the Minister. Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Committee's report was read into the record on May 30th, 2023. In 2022, the Speaker, Frederick Blake, twice wrote to the committee regarding the rules and asked the committee to consider various matters including: Regular Member participation on Standing and Special Committees; Membership on Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight; dissenting opinions in committee reports; care of infants in the Chamber; the Rule of Anticipation; loss of quorum; petitions; committee reporting on the review of bills; and the best approach to make statutory officers' annual reports available to the public and standing committees earlier.
Based on these questions, Madam Chair, the committee has made ten recommendations to address the various matters identified in the review of the rules of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories. Individual Members may have some comments. Thank you, Madam Chair.
