Mr. Speaker:

WHEREAS the settlement of Kakisa has a number of vehicles and equipment;

AND WHEREAS these vehicles are needed to provide maintenance and services to the community;

AND WHEREAS there is no facility to store the vehicles and equipment;

AND WHEREAS the five-year capital plan of the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs has no provision for the construction of a garage in Kakisa;

NOW THEREFORE, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for North Slave, that this Legislative Assembly recommends that the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs consider allocating funds for the construction of a garage in Kakisa as a high priority in the department's capital plan.
