Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Great Slave, that Bill 61, An Act to Amend the Ombud Act, be read for a second time.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to I believe this is a recommendation that committee will look to make it to a number of departments and that there's no real formalized mechanism right now for frontline staff in the GNWT to recommend policy changes. You know, I sometimes get emails from them saying hey, please don't tell anyone I'm contacting an MLA, or they sometimes go up to the director. But I think there's some good examples. There was just a review done of income assistance and they talked to all the frontline staff, and a number of recommendations that were relatively easy to...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I think the Minister answered all of my subsequent questions there. So thank you for that. I look forward to the report.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services and health and social services authorities review and adjust standards of practice to recognize the value of Indigenous knowledge and provide a timeline for implementation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. This Monday is the number one sick day in the GNWT; and, no, Madam Speaker, it's not because of some illness it's because the clocks will be turned back.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories conduct a wholeofgovernment review of cultural safety in all standards and policies associated with GNWT programs and services and provide a timeline for implementation. This review should identify barriers to cultural safety to inform efforts to remove or reduce identified barriers. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services implement an approach to measure whether users and nonusers of GNWT addictions services find those services to be culturally safe and provide a timeline for implementation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Health and Social Services, in consultation with Indigenous governments and by spring 2023, sponsor a men's wellness conference. The conference should focus on healing, learning, and sharing about the root causes of issues facing some men such as racism, trauma, isolation, violence, and addictions. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide a response to this report within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories increase funding for grants and contribution programs that target men's wellness. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
