Thank you, Madam Chair.

I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories commit to a second phase of legislative changes to protect, promote, and revitalize official and Indigenous languages in the 20th Assembly;

And further, this new legislation should be based on past recommendations, suggestions arising during the review of Bill 63, and the advice in committee's upcoming report on its statutory review of the Official Languages Act;

And furthermore, the new legislation should also seek to implement Articles 13 and 14 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;

And furthermore, Indigenous governments should be invited to co-develop the legislation.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
