Glen Abernethy

Great Slave

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, October 20, 2008, I will move the following motion.

I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that this Legislative Assembly recommends implementing a tiered vehicle registration system where fees are based on the fuel economy rating of vehicles, thereby encouraging ownership of more fuel efficient vehicles and supporting the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: Mr. Speaker

The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
