Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025, I will move the following motion:

Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that this Legislative Assembly direct the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges to consider if the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Member's Code of Conduct requires any amendments or updates regarding statements made online by Members of the Legislative Assembly outside of our proceedings;

And further, that the Standing Committee on Procedure and Privileges deliver a report to this House on the matter by February 2026.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
