Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, Bill 7, Miscellaneous Statute Law Amendment Act, 2024, received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on June 12th, 2024, and was referred to the Standing Committee on Government Operations for review. Bill 7 introduces amendments across a range of existing legislation in the Northwest Territories. These changes are administrative and technical, aimed at improving the clarity, consistency, and accuracy of both English and French language versions of the legislation. The clause-by-clause review of Bill 7 was held on October 2nd, 2024, with the Minister of Justice. During its review, the committee moved four motions to amend the bill, with concurrence from the Minister on all of them.

I want to thank the committee for its work on the review of Bill 7 and, in particular, to committee staff also who brought forward thoughtful changes for committee's consideration. Individuals may have additional comments or questions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
