MOTION 14-17(5): EXPANSION OF POLICING AND NURSING SERVICES

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, March 6, 2014, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the government identify at least two priority communities for new nursing and/or policing services and provide those services within the 2014-15 fiscal year; and further, that by December 31, 2014, the government completes long-term plans working with community governments and including timelines for implementation to expand police and nursing services into the communities now lacking those services; and furthermore, that the government provide a comprehensive response to this motion within 120 days.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Item 16, notices of motion for first reading of bills. Mr. Blake.
