MOTION 11-17(5): CREATION OF REGIONAL LAND AND WATER OFFICES

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Thursday, February 20, 2014, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that the Government of the Northwest Territories work with our regional Aboriginal government partners to determine the desirability and feasibility of establishing and staffing regional offices as a basis for ensuring meaningful input into land and water management structures;

And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories work with the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board to seek support and resources towards this initiative;

And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories make a public commitment to work with future federal governments to delay the elimination of or reinstitute the regional land and water boards;

And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories report to the House on the results of such collaborative discussions with our Aboriginal partners and provide the results of feasibility studies to implement actions resulting from this process within 120 days.
