Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Tuesday, December 2, 1997, I will move the following motion.

I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre that notwithstanding Rule 4 that when this House adjourns on Tuesday, December 2, 1997, it shall be adjourned until Wednesday, January 21, 1998;

And further, that anytime prior to January 21, 1998, if the Speaker is satisfied after consultation with the Executive Council and Members of the Legislative Assembly, that the public 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.

Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time I will be seeking unanimous consent to deal with my motion today. Thank you.
