Thank you, Madam Chair. I do support this motion. I like how the motion was worded, because it was for the management of day shelters, which really talks about not just the requirement in our major capital city here, which we all like to refer to as more of a territorial day shelter, but the operation of future day shelters across the Northwest Territories. We need to always remind ourselves of that.

It’s obvious that the approach that we’ve done for day shelter management has been piecemeal at best. The continuity and ongoing stewardship that we require from people who do our programming need consistency and we need to have a strong message collectively from this government, that we’re supporting this on a long-term basis and not year to year. I do support this motion and I look forward to my colleagues doing the same.
