MOTION 30-17(5): NATIONAL INQUIRY AND NATIONAL ROUNDTABLE INTO MISSING AND MURDERED ABORIGINAL WOMEN AND GIRLS

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, November 3, 2014, I will move the following motion. Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that the 17th Legislative Assembly supports the national Aboriginal organizations’ call for a national inquiry and a national roundtable into missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls;

And further, that this Assembly supports a national roundtable on missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls to have a national dialogue that will allow all levels of government to work together to identify concrete outcomes that will prevent further violence against Aboriginal women and girls;

And further, that this Assembly supports the efforts of the Premier of the Northwest Territories to help the national Aboriginal organizations facilitate the development of a national roundtable;

And further, that this Assembly urges Premier McLeod to continue his dialogue with the federal government on the proposed roundtable and report back to this House as progress is made;

And furthermore, that the Premier of the Northwest Territories transmit a copy of this motion to all his provincial and territorial counterparts with a request for their consideration of support for a similar House motion.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Item 16, notices of motion for first reading of bills. Mr. Miltenberger.
