Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The open government policy is overarching and continues to shape our government's direction. Under this policy, the GNWT encourages citizen participation in GNWT decision-making where appropriate. One of the principles of open government is that citizen participation in potential government decisions should be encouraged. During this Legislative Assembly, Cabinet endorsed a guideline for the publishing of draft regulations online for public input. This pre-publication process allows residents to directly shape the context of regulations, including resource regulations, in an open and transparent manner. While regulations are ultimately delegated legislation, we appreciate and recognize the public's role in shaping their content and continue to review the process and progress to ensure our legislation and regulations best serve the residents of the NWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
