Debates of October 30, 2006 (day 18)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, November 1st, 2006, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that this Legislative Assembly censures the Premier for his comments to the media on the civil case currently before the courts related to former teacher Edward Horne; and further, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the government bring forward a policy on how it will handle allegations of sexual abuse, which is consistent with zero tolerance toward violence, which shows support to survivors; and furthermore, that the government identify gaps in assistance and services for survivors of sexual abuse, and bring forward proposals to address these gaps; and furthermore, that the government, within the life of this Assembly, develop a mandatory sexual abuse survivor assistance training program for front-line workers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
