Motion 29-20(1): Municipal Block Land Transfer
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, June 5th, 2024, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, seconded by the Member for Frame Lake, that the Government of the Northwest Territories complete the block land transfer of land to communities within municipal and community boundaries without delay;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories remove requirements from communities that are impeding this transfer, such as the requirement for surveying, community zoning and by-law development for land that is under Government of the Northwest Territories authority;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories remove internal impediments that are delaying the efficient transfer of lands within municipal and community boundaries;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide public updates on the status of block land transfer to communities;
And furthermore, that the government respond to this motion within 120 days.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
