Reports
Cabinet could bring a number of reports forward in this session, ordinary members house leader Jake Ootes said.

Among them, a report on Nunavut electoral boundaries.

Policy on methods of contracting in the NWT may also be discussed, Ootes said.

"We want to debate merits of negotiated contracts," he said.

Also on the agenda is a report card-style review of the assembly at the half way point.

"When we elected cabinet, it was decided we would have a mid-term review of government performance and policy," the Yellowknife Centre member said.
