MOTION 21-17(5): PUBLIC REVIEW OF HORIZONTAL HYDRAULIC FRACTURING

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Wednesday, June 4, 2014, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that in recognition of the clear public concern about fracking, the Government of the Northwest Territories immediately refrain from supporting any hydraulic fracturing proposals until a full and public assessment has been completed that demonstrates that the impacts of fracking and related development on the North are better understood and demonstrates that it can manage this technology in a way that ensures the integrity of our environment and communities; and further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories report back with the results of this public assessment within 12 months. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER
