Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am making a motion to amend Motion 52-20(1), strengthening support for nurses and healthcare workers.
I MOVE, seconded by the Member for Inuvik Boot Lake, to amend Motion 52-20(1), strengthening support for nurses and healthcare workers, by adding the words the "employer's" between the words "of" and "management" in the fifth clause of the preamble, such that the clause reads:
AND WHEREAS recruitment and retention of nurses and healthcare workers remain a serious challenge and require proactive review of the employer's management and labour policies to ensure fair treatment, safe working conditions, and adequate professional support to improve working conditions and job satisfaction.
Thank you, Member from Great Slave. The motion to a -- or the motion to amend the motion is in order. The question before the House is now the amendment debate must be on the amendment and not the main motion. To the motion. Member from Great Slave.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this amendment and the two that follow are simply to clarify that it is not the intent of the motion to interfere with how the union conducts its internal business. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Member from Great Slave. Member from Yellowknife North.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will support the amendment as it was always my intention for the committee to focus its work on the government's own legislation and policies. Thank you.
Thank you, Member from Yellowknife North. To the motion.
