MLAs are reviewing Bill 20 which proposes to create an Ombudsperson for the NWT. This office will be appointed by the Legislative Assembly and serve the public by ensuring the GNWT fairly practices it's policies, processes and procandres while also properly following the laws of the NWT. The Ombudsperson will be independant ofgovernment and will be able to hear complaints from all NWT citizens. This idea has been around for a very long time and is a mandate commitment of the current government. Our committee (SCOGO) is reviewing Bill 20 and will be travelling to several communities outside of Yellowknife in early October. Public interest in the Bill has been great and is helping us find ways to improve Bill 20 and make the Office of the Ombudsperson all that it can be when it's created next year. #NWTpoli #Bill20NWT #SCOGO #Ombudsperson
