Thanks, Madam Chair. Yeah, I think the way that the motion had currently read was that it was a requirement that it be established, and it might require as much as $90,000. What this does is amend the Members' handbook, which currently reads, in section 114, and I'm just going quote this, "Members representing constituencies in Yellowknife are not entitled to a second constituency office in addition to the one provided in the Legislative Assembly building."
So with that current clause in the Members' handbook, there's a prohibition on Yellowknife MLAs having an office outside. So the purpose of this motion would be to change this to at least allow that as an option for future Yellowknife Members and that really the decision would be up to the Board of Management. And I think this is a better way to approach this, at least leave open that option for Yellowknife MLAs.
And I think really what this is about is making sure that people in Yellowknife have an opportunity to bring forward their concerns, not necessarily to the MLA in the Assembly but in other ways. So I am hoping that my colleagues from Yellowknife would support this to at least leave this open as an option for the future. Thanks, Madam Chair.
