Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Monday, December 2nd, 1996, I will move the following motion.

Therefore, I move, seconded by the honourable member for North Slave, that the Legislative Assembly supports and urges the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and the Minister of National Constitutional Affairs to formally present the draft constitution package, Partners in a New Beginning, to the federal minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, to permit formal discussions with the federal minister on constitutional development in the western Northwest Territories.

And further, that these discussions lead to a clear response from the federal government on the acceptability from a federal perspective of the principles and the design elements contained in the three different models contained in the draft constitution package.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
