Speaker: MR. McKAY

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Tuesday, December 12th, 2023, I will move the following motion:

I move, second by the honourable Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, that notwithstanding Rule 4, when this House adjourns on December 8th, 2023 it shall be adjourned until Tuesday, February 6th, 2024.

And further, at any time prior to February 6th, 2024, 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 stated time and such notice and it shall transact its business as it has been duly adjourned to at that time.

And, Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time I will be speaking unanimous consent to deal with the motion today.
