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.
