Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues.

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that notwithstanding Rule 4, that when this House adjourns on Friday, October 24, 1997, they shall adjourn until Tuesday, December 2, 1997;

AND FURTHER, that any time prior to December 2, 1997, the Speaker is satisfied, after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public's interest requires that the House should meet at an earlier time during the adjournment, the Speaker may give notice and thereupon the House shall meet at the time stated in such notice and shall transact its business as it has been duly adjourned to that time. Thank you.
