Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Friday, April 2, 2004, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that the 15th Legislative Assembly is committed to working cooperatively in support of a Mackenzie Valley pipeline;

And further that this Legislative Assembly is committed to working cooperatively and endorses the efforts of the Premier and Executive Council to seek with the aboriginal governments and the Government of Canada the control of our natural resources and the sharing among northern governments of resource revenues arising from development;

And furthermore that this Legislative Assembly urges the Government of the Northwest Territories, in partnership

with aboriginal governments, to continue support for the development of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline;

And furthermore that the Government of the Northwest Territories seek to maximize the benefits and mitigate the adverse impacts to NWT residents and communities that will result from the development of the Mackenzie Valley pipeline.

Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time I will seek unanimous consent to deal with this motion today.
