Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, March 11, 2009, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories undertake the necessary research and cost-benefit analysis and consider implementing a low carbon fuel standard that decreases the Government of the Northwest Territories’ reliance on, or eliminates, the use of unconventional higher-carbon oil by the end of the term of this Assembly;
And further that this Legislative Assembly supports the establishment of guidelines for the use of lifecycle analyses that evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions from the production, including the extraction, refining and transportation, of any fuels that are imported into the Northwest Territories by the Government of the Northwest Territories.
Thank you.
