Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, November 24th, 2021, I will move the following motion: Now therefore, I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Hay River North, that each Member of this Legislative Assembly must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to attending and participating in a sitting of this House, its committees, or any proceeding of the Assembly.
And further, that a Member who is fully vaccinated where two weeks have passed since the person's final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine approved by Health Canada has been administered.
And furthermore, that Members must provide to the Speaker proof of full vaccination status prior to attending and participating in a sitting of this House, its committees, or any other proceeding of the Assembly.
And, furthermore, that a Member who has provided a valid medical exemption from vaccination to the Speaker may, at the discretion of the relevant or residing officer, participate in a sitting, committee meeting, or other proceeding of the House remotely.
And, furthermore, that this motion takes effect at the start of the first sitting day after this motion has been passed and continues until the current session is prorogued or is formally rescinded by the House.
And Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will be seeking unanimous consent to deal with this motion today.
