Baffinland suggested in its motion that it is fair to all parties for the Board to reconvene the Public Hearing for the Phase 2 Proposal on October 30, 2020. We submit that it would be premature to schedule a Hearing until such time as a Technical Meeting and Pre-Hearing Conference are held to determine whether the proposal is sufficient to be heard at a hearing, and to determine issues such as the timing, location and format of a Hearing. It would also be inappropriate for the NIRB to determine next steps based on a mo- tion from Baffinland. It is not fair to all parties to reconvene the Public Hearing in October. Many organizations par- ticipating in the ongoing assessment of Phase 2, including our Hamlets and HTOs, have suf- fered significant limitations on our ability to engage in a normal workload while still remaining vigilant in addressing Covid-19 related safety measures.

Sandy Kusugak Chief Electoral Officer Overview On November 6, 2012 the Honourable Edna Elias, Commissioner of Nunavut declared October 28, 2013 to be the day Nunavummiut would go to the polls in a general election. As a result of the 2011 Act Respecting Nunavut Constituencies the number of Members of the Legislative Assembly has increased from nineteen to twenty-two. This number will not change until at least 2023. With improved electronic infrastructure throughout the territory, Elections Nunavut was able to communicate more quickly and effectively to voters, candidates and election officers increasing our ability to recruit and train staff. Issues that arose during and following the election are itemized in Other Matters Related to the October 2013 General Election.
