Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Monday, February 28, 2000, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the Member for Deh Cho, that the 14th Legislative Assembly is committed to work cooperatively in partnership with aboriginal governments to take control of the development of northern resources; and further that this Legislative Assembly urges the Government of the Northwest Territories, in partnership with aboriginal governments, to actively promote the development of a natural gas pipeline through the Mackenzie Valley; and
Furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories seeks to maximize the benefits that would accrue to Western Arctic communities with the development of a natural gas pipeline down the Mackenzie Valley; and
Furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly endorses the efforts of the Premier and the Executive Council in seeking, with aboriginal governments, the control of our natural resources and the sharing with these governments of the resource revenue arising from that development. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
