Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Wednesday, December 14, 2011, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that the Government of the Northwest Territories work with business, organizations and those living in poverty to complete an Anti-Poverty Strategy for the Northwest Territories;

And further, that the Anti-Poverty Strategy identify specific measurable targets with clear cross-departmental mechanisms for coordination and integration of actions;
