Motion 8-15(6): Commitment To The Deh Cho Bridge

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Thursday, May 17, 2007, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends the government not enter into a binding agreement committing it to the Deh Cho Bridge project until it has provided Regular Members with: an up-to-date analysis of the expected cost of living impacts of the bridge on Yellowknife, the Tlicho communities and the Akaitcho communities; the estimated social impacts and economic benefits for the community of Fort Providence; and the exact total cost of the Deh Cho Bridge to the Government of the Northwest Territories; and given Regular Members an opportunity to comment on whether the bridge should proceed based on this information.
