Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm wondering if the intent is for this strategy, in the life of this strategy as it works through all of the deliverables, will remain with the Premier's office or if the intent is to eventually shift it to housing or into department land, or is that going to be seen moving forward as almost like a new unit that then lives within EIA? Thank you.

Sorry, Madam Chair, the MLA for Frame Lake just let me know I joined a new club.

Madam Chair, I move that the English version of Bill 65 be amended by striking out "a certificates" in paragraph 91(k) and substituting "certificates."

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, homelessness prevention is not a passive process. It needs aspiration, and it needs action. Today is the National Day of Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. On this Day of Action, where better to start than safe and secure housing.

Lack of housing and lack of affordable housing has an accumulative impact on the health and safety of Northerners, especially women and especially women with children. Indigenous women, girls, and twospirited people experience disproportionately higher rates of violence, marital assault, familial violence...

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. To the clause as amended, I move that Bill 65 be amended by adding the following after clause 90:

Review of Act

90.1.(1) The provisions and operation of this Act must be reviewed by the department responsible for the administration of this Act within two years after the commencement of the twentyfirst Legislative Assembly.

(2) The review

(A) shall include an examination of.

(i) an examination of the administration and implementation of the Act,

(ii) the effectiveness of its provisions,

(iii) the achievement of its objectives, and

(iv) which the entities and...

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I move that subclause 46(6) of Bill 65 be deleted and the following substituted:

(6) The Court may, on application, order that a certificate of pending litigation expires if no significant steps toward trial have been taken after two years from the date of registration of the certificate.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I move that Bill 65 be amended by striking out "landlord’s interest" in that portion of subclause 20(1) preceding paragraph (a) and substituting "landlord’s interest in the premises."

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. And thank you to my colleague for pointing that out to me. So just for the record, (iv) should read: the Land Claims and SelfGovernment Agreement among the Tlicho and the Government of the Northwest Territories and the Government of Canada, signed on August 25, 2003, as amended.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that Bill 65 be amended by adding the following after clause 3:

(3.1) This act is to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the recognition and affirmation of existing Aboriginal and treaty rights in section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I wish to table three letters. The first is from the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association; the second from the British Columbia Dental Hygienists Association; and, the third is from the Ontario Dental Hygienists Association. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's a lot in here, and a lot of really important work in here, but a lot of it, before we end up with houses on the ground and before we end up with things like integrated service delivery, a lot of it is things that need to happen within the back end of department land. And so it's really important that we see this work get done and get done on time. And so I'm wondering if the Premier can speak to since it was tabled since this strategy was tabled, what has been accomplished within the GNWT? Thank you.
