Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Monday, February 18, 2008, I will move the following motion: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that this Legislative Assembly recognize and support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as an international legal instrument; and further, that this Legislative Assembly strongly urge the government of Canada to respect and honour the decision of the
international community in adopting the declaration; and furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommend that the government of the Northwest Territories formally request the Government of Canada to reverse its current position and support the declaration.
