Thank you very much. Well, the Minister keeps talking about not changing the definition, but that’s what he’s doing. That’s what every page on here is doing is changing the definition of co-habiting and spouse. I don’t know where he gets off saying he’s not changing any definition at all. That’s the fundamental reason why I’m opposing any of these changes at all. He is changing the definition and the people I represent are opposed to that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. The motion is just being handed out, Mr. Roland. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Ramsay.
With respect to clause 1, I am having trouble seeing the change. What exactly is it that you are changing here, Mr. Chair?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight has noted with concern that there is a substantial degree of duplication and/or overlap between certain mandates and activities of the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and those in the Executive, in particular the Intergovernmental Relations and Strategic Planning office, IGRASP. Some Members are of the opinion that this has led to a waste of valuable human and fiscal resources. Others point to the overlap of responsibilities and accountability of certain high-level GNWT officials.
An important part of the work...
