And further, deleting March 27, 1995 and substituting April 7, 1995. Thank you.

Thank you. Can I have a copy of your motion, Mrs. Marie-Jewell? Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move this amendment for two reasons...

I'm sorry. Can I have a copy of your motion so I can make a ruling on it first? We will recess until we get the motion typed and we get the right wording. Thank you.

The House will come back to order. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to withdraw my amendment. Thank you.

Does the seconder, the Member for Baffin Central agree? Ms. Mike.

Motion To Amend Motion 14-12(7), Defeated

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Baffin Central, that the motion be amended by deleting March 10, 1995 and substituting March 24, 1995;

And further, by deleting both references to March 27, 1995 and substituting April 10, 1995. Thank you.

Thank you. The motion is in order. To the amendment. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this amendment would allow us to complete our budget, allow the Nunavut Caucus to meet their other obligations and it will allow for a two-week break. So I ask Members to support the amendment. Thank you.

Thank you. Seconder, Ms. Mike.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just want to clarify to the House that, as the chair of the Nunavut Caucus, I tried to change the dates of the March 16th meeting scheduled to be held. But because of the Price Waterhouse report not being available prior to that date, we could not change the date. I'm supporting the motion to accommodate the Nunavut Caucus Members because this document is a key part of a Nunavut government and I hope that Members will support it. Thank you.

To the amendment. Mr. Whitford.
