TABLED DOCUMENT 15-16(3):MOTION 11-16(3): BOARD REFORM DIRECTION

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Friday, February 20, 2009, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that the Cabinet set aside its decisions and assumptions about board reform;

And further, that the Cabinet initiate a process without a predetermined end point, with full public input, to find efficiencies that improve the effectiveness of government processes and board structures, and that the benefits and disadvantages that may be associated with changes to board structures be discussed with Northerners, GNWT employees and managers, First Nations, aboriginal governments and other community leaders, and Members of this House, with the intent of openly and constructively working towards a viable solution satisfactory to all northern residents.

Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will be seeking unanimous consent to deal with this motion today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
