Motion 61-20(1): Remuneration of Essential Staff During an Evacuation
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, October 16th, 2025, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member from Tu Nedhe, that the Legislative Assembly recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories reimburse Avens $400,000, which is the portion of costs incurred from their assistance to the government during the 2023 Wildfire Evacuation, and it is not covered by the federal disaster fund;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories, in its response to the 2023 Wildfire Emergency Response After-Action Review, provide guidelines on how to address remuneration of essential staff during the evacuation, particularly for non-governmental organizations providing contract services to the Government of the Northwest Territories;
And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories respond to this motion -- they're already calling in with an answer.
So furthermore that the government respond to this motion within 120 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, just wait. Just wait a few seconds, folks.
Member from Yellowknife Centre, we need a correction. You need to give two days' notice. You have Thursday, October 16th. On your motion, you need to have it as Friday, October 17th, 2025. Can you please make the amendment, please.
Just that first line, please and thank you.
Not a problem, Mr. Speaker. Not a problem.
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Friday, October 17th, 2025, I will move the motion already read earlier today; is that correct? Thank you, sir.
