Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories simplify the administration of prevention and development contribution funding, and ensure the communities are supported in the development and implementation of a sustained community-based effort to create lasting changes in the lives of community residents, and improve the wellbeing of the community. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that this committee recommends that the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures institute a regular and systematic approach for reviewing issues associated with implementation of self-government agreements, similar to the review of GNWT structures and functions which is undertaken as a transition measure prior to each general election. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures prepare an action plan for the development of the Legislative Assembly's internal capacity to monitor and plan for the potential changes arising from implementation of self-government agreements. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In keeping with our view that a more coordinated and systematic approach could be taken to planning for the implementation of self-government, we suggesting the following:

Therefore, I make a motion. Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Standing Committee on Rules and Procedures consider an appropriate role for the Legislative Assembly in building capacity for legislators at a local or regional level through joint workshops, seminars, research functions and so on. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, consistent with our report, we believe cooperation will be an important prerequisite to success in implementing self-government. We think there may be opportunities for the Legislative Assembly to help build capacity in relation to community and regional lawmakers. These opportunities could be explored in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders at the community and regional level.

Thank you. As I understand, sometimes we go through our business plans and we see projects that pop up. Sometimes we are using the 20-year cycle of a building, sometimes we use the 20-year assessment plan to justify some of the projects. I would like to ask the Minister if he can make sure that, whenever there is something on the 20-year plan and it is identified for a certain year and they are going to cut it, then they should tell the Member whose riding it is in. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Not a very good answer.

I am unclear on how projects are cut. You say we have been working together on briefings and other meetings, but then I saw a capital project on my five-year plan for my riding in Gameti where a school was cut. No one told me about that, or I was never briefed on it. I would like to ask the Minister who makes these decisions to cut the projects? Thank you.

Thank you. I would like to ask the Minister if he can give us some examples of some of the projects that we made decisions on in the House. Thank you.
