I MOVE, seconded by the Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, to amend Motion 52-20(1), Strengthening Support for Nurses and Healthcare Workers as amended, by adding the words "the employer's" between the words "practices" and "bargaining" in the first clause, such that the clause reads:

NOW THEREFORE I MOVE, seconded by the Member for Monfwi, that the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly undertake a comprehensive review of health care management practices, the employer's bargaining structures and labour policies, in consultation with nurses, labour unions, independent professional associations, frontline healthcare workers, and other key stakeholders to identify and recommend measures that:

(i) reinforce workplace protections for nurses and healthcare workers, including improved work-life balance initiatives, competitive compensation, and mental health supports;

(ii) address management practices that contribute to low workplace morale, fostering a supportive and collaborative working environment;

(iii) strengthen recruitment and retention strategies for nurses and health care staff through focused incentives and stable workforce planning; and

(iv) increase accountability in the administration of health care in the Northwest Territories to ensure that policies reflect the realities of frontline work and lead to real improvements in working conditions in all health care settings including hospitals, health centres and health cabins.
