(YELLOWKNIFE) Thursday, May 27, 2021 -- The Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight will hold a COVID-19 theme day in the Legislative Assembly on Friday, May 28, 2021.
Members Statements and Oral Questions will revolve around the Government’s response to COVID-19 with the goal of bringing attention to issues surrounding communication and implementation of Public Health Orders.
