Motion 45–20(1): Extended Adjournment of the House to February 5, 2025

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Friday, November 1st, 2024, I will move the following motion:

I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River North, that notwithstanding Rule 2.1, when this House adjourns on Friday, November 1st, 2024, it shall be adjourned until Wednesday, February 5th, 2025;

And further, that any time prior to February 5th, 2025, if the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice;

And thereupon, the House shall meet at the time stated in such notice and shall transact its business as it had been duly adjourned to that time.
