Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that Parliament agreed to the establishment of a GLOBE Chapter in Parliament in June 2011 upon the adoption of the Report of the Parliamentary Delegation to the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16) Meeting held in Cancun, Mexico, from 29 November to 10 December 2010;
2) recalls that Parliament hosted the National Consultative Seminar on Climate Change from 28 until 29 October 2011, and later hosted the GLOBE Legislative Forum meeting on Climate Change on 3 December 2011, prior to COP17, and both reports were considered and adopted by the House;
3) recognises that the GLOBE Chapter will play a critical role in strengthening legislative action on climate change by developing a set of legislative principles and supporting GLOBE International members in advancing such principles; and
4) resolves that, subject to the concurrence of the National Council of Provinces, the GLOBE Chapter be recognised as a focus group of the Parliamentary Group on International Relations.
Agreed to.
