"Although I am confident that our
regular fall sitting will convene as scheduled, we are prepared, if necessary, to recall the House
in September to consider proposed supplementary appropriation bills and other urgent business
arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.

"I wish to emphasize that ministers and regular members of the legislative assembly remain engaged with their portfolio and constituency responsibilities, and I note that the by-elections for the constituencies of Baker Lake and Kugluktuk remain scheduled to be held on Aug. 24, 2020, and we look forward to welcoming the new members to the House later this year.SA国际影视传媒
