Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
NOW THEREFORE I MOVE, seconded by the Member for Sahtu, to amend Motion 920(1): Establishing a Public Inquiry into the 2023 Wildfires as amended, by adding the following clause after the fourth clause:
AND FURTHERMORE, that the Commissioner receive recommendations from the Council of Leaders for two persons to be appointed to the board.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member for Monfwi. Members, there's a motion to amend Motion 920(1) as amended. The question before the House is proposed amendments. Debate should be on the proposed amendment, not the main motion. To the motion. Member for Monfwi.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the reason why this motion is introduced is to appoint the Council of Leaders to appoint two board members to the inquiry. Thank you.
Thank you. To the motion. Member from Yellowknife Centre.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First off, I'm going to ask for a recorded vote to make sure that doesn't get forgotten.
The next part is part of the I just want to further elaborate on the amendment made by my colleague from Monfwi. The issue is this side of the House is trying to make this the most collaborative process as possible, and we want to work with Council of Leaders. We believe the Indigenous governments do have a role to play on the guidance of this inquiry, and we think it would be strengthened by their vision and input on it. So the Members aren't doing this in isolation so the House may be able to count every single one here showing their support. But that said, I want people to know is we've reached well beyond our ranks in this House to get into the communities to speak to the chiefs, to speak to folks and families who have been impacted by this, so that's, you know, part of the underlying reason of this amendment to ensure that we're demonstrating, we're reaching very far and collaboratively to make it a good process. Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Yellowknife Centre. To the motion.
