Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise to ask the Premier to give residents hope in a tangible way. In his territorial address yesterday, one thing he said caught my ear: We must be bold when the moment demands it.

While I'm happy that we're standing strong with Team Canada, that Canadians have come together to support each other and are committed to buying local and buying Canadian, I'm still concerned. There's so much at stake. I'm watching a US administration strip away protections, supports, and educational materials needed by gender-diverse Americans, low-income Americans, and tear apart...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that rule 2.2(2) be amended by replacing the words "at 6:00 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and at 2:00 p.m. on Fridays" with "at the designated adjournment time of a sitting day." Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Under the term "oral questions", the clerk shall inform the Assembly of the follow-ups to oral questions received, deliver copies to the Members who ask the questions and have the returns printed in Hansard. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that rule 7.2(4) be amended by replacing the words "three" with "two." Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the clerk be granted authority to produce consolidations of the rules to correct spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors alongside noncontroversial changes within the rules without requiring those changes to be made by way of motion in the House. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Legislative Assembly direct the chief electoral officer to engage with the Northwest Territories Association of Communities to determine how to better support local authority election activities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, pursuant to subsection 266(2) of the Elections and Plebiscites Act, the chief electoral officer must report on the administration and event initiatives seen through that office within six months following a territorial general election.

The Speaker tabled the chief electoral officer's report on May 21, 2024, in the Legislative Assembly and was subsequently referred to the Standing Committee on Procedures and Privileges for review and response. The committee sought public feedback on the chief electoral officer's report from September 2nd, 2024, to September...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Premier spoke a bit the other day about a newly formed governance and service integration division under EIA. So my questions are to the Premier about that. Specifically, he spoke to the fact that the division will focus on increasing transitional and supportive housing options. My question is would he be considering housing options for women and families fleeing domestic violence in those housing options? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I move that the chair rise and report progress.
