MOTION 29-17(5): EXTENDED CARE FACILITIES

 I give notice that on Monday, October 27, 2014, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that  the government develop a long-term action plan for the provision of the necessary long-term care beds, indicating the steps they will take  in the areas of resources, facilities and timing to meet this urgent need for facilities for seniors, including possible partnerships to serve those seniors who have some financial independence, in both large and small communities;

And further, that the government provide Avens Society with the assurance of support needed to enable construction of their proposed new 60-bed territorial facility and renovation of existing facilities to begin next spring;

And furthermore, that the government respond to this motion within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
