Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that Rule 9.4(5) be amended to read:

"the government will be required to table a comprehensive responses to the committee report, including all recommendations, within 120 days, or at the earliest opportunity subsequent to the passage of 120 days when:

(a) a report requesting a response is adopted by the Assembly; or

(b) a motion is adopted by Committee of the Whole requesting a response. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that this committee recommends that Rule 2.3(4) be amended by adding "all remaining business shall stand over until the next sitting day" to the end of the existing rule. Thank you, Madam Chair.

I appreciate that. Mr. Speaker, with the CERB payments and the disability payments across the territory, and especially into our riding of Nunakput, can the Minister explain to me why are we debt collecting for the federal government and we are these are programs that are impacted because residents have received this federal funding, but are we still debt collecting for CERB and disability payments across the territory? Thank you.

Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the wording of Rule 9.3(6) be deleted and replaced with "the clerk shall notify all Regular Members of upcoming meetings and ensure agendas are available publicly." Thank you, Madam Chair.

Sorry, Madam Chair, for that. I'm ahead of myself. Madam Chair, I move that this committee recommends that Rule 9.4(4) be amended by adding the word "not" after the words "Committee of the Whole shall…." Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that Rule 9.3(5) be amended by adding "with the exception of the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight, three Members are required for quorum unless the committee's terms of reference states otherwise." Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, this rule is being brought forward because it's a check on Cabinet. Anything brought forward in a motion could take up to one or two days in regards to getting it through the House and if it's not nayed going through. So this rule is just brought forward to keep Cabinet in check. Thank you, Madam Chair. That's why it's brought forward.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that the committee recommends that the wording of Rule 8.2(3) be deleted and replaced with "When the Sponsor of the Bill presents it for first reading, the bill will be deemed read for a first time." Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move the committee recommends that the following be added after Rule 9.4(1):

(1.1) one or more member(s) of a committee may indicate that they dissent of a particular recommendation or comment.

(1.2) a Member or Members who wish to express the reasons for their dissent may do so in an appendix to the report.

(1.3) the chair of a committee will establish a reasonable deadline for any dissenting opinion to be shared with committee members before the report is presented to the House.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that Rule 3.2(3)(b)(iii) be amended by deleting "question of privilege" and replacing it with "point of privilege." Thank you, Madam Chair.
