Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, June 10th, 2024, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, seconded by the Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, that the Government of the Northwest Territories reallocate funding resources without delay to implement the revised municipal funding gap policies;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories balance the current discrepancy between communities regarding the percentage of the formula funding they receive;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories make the calculation of the municipal funding gap, by community, publicly available;
And furthermore, the Government of the Northwest Territories acknowledge the increased costs facing communities through public emergencies and natural disasters and allocate a new stream of funding for public safety and emergency preparedness into the municipal funding gap calculations;
