Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2026, I will move the following motion:

Now therefore I move, seconded by the Member for Yellowknife North, that this Legislative Assembly calls upon the Government of the Northwest Territories to immediately begin formal consultation with paramedics and paramedic operators practicing in the territory on how paramedicine can be most effectively regulated as a profession under the Health and Social Services Professions Act;

And further, that this consultation seek input from paramedics on how regulation could protect both residents and paramedics by clarifying professional oversight, complaints of malpractice, liability, and insurance;

And further, that it be done in close consultation with provincial paramedic regulators to both ensure a mutual understanding of current jurisdiction of provincially regulated paramedics working in the Northwest Territories, and to gain understanding of best practices in paramedicine regulation;

And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories report back on the results of this consultation, including the level of support among paramedics, and any recommended next steps for developing regulations under the Health and Social Services Professions Act;

And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories respond to this motion within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
