Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I give notice that on Friday, February 27, 2009, I will move the following: I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that the Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the Government of Canada immediately commence negotiations with the GNWT to conclude the proposed infrastructure partnership;
And further, that the Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the Government of Canada advance the funding and planning for a Mackenzie Valley Highway and consider this project as a national stimulus initiative that would be a lasting legacy for all Canadians;
And furthermore, that the content and results of these proceedings be forwarded to the Prime Minister, the federal Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and the Member of Parliament for Western Arctic for their consideration.
Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will be seeking unanimous consent to deal with this motion today.
