Merci, Monsieur le President. I give notice that on Friday, October 6th, 2023, I will move the following motion: Whereas the Integrity Commissioner received a written complaint and carried out an investigation pursuant to Section 100(2) of the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act;
And whereas the Integrity Commissioner submitted an investigation report dated October 3rd, 2023, to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly into the conduct of Ms. Katrina Nokleby, MLA Great Slave, by returning to and remaining in Yellowknife after it was ordered to be evacuated in August 2023;
And whereas the Integrity Commissioner has concluded that the MLA for Great Slave violated section 2 of the Members' Code of Conduct;
And whereas based on that conclusion, section 102(c) of the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act provides that the Integrity Commissioner may recommend to the Legislative Assembly one or more punishments in accordance with Section 106;
And whereas the Integrity Commissioner, pursuant to section 106(1)(a) of the Act, had recommended the Legislative Assembly:
- reprimand Ms. Nokleby; and,
- fine Ms. Nokleby $7,500 to be reduced by the $3,500 contribution she has made to charity for a net amount of $4,000.
Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River North, that the recommendations of the Integrity Commissioner be accepted and that this Assembly reprimand the Member for Great Slave and impose a fine of $7,500 to be reduced by $3,500, for charitable contributions made, for a net amount of $4,000. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
