MR. GRAHAM STEELE: Mr. Speaker, I hereby give notice that on a future day I shall move the adoption of the following resolution:

Whereas the Glades Lodge on Alton Drive in Halifax has been providing excellent long-term care for over 30 years, despite the constraints imposed by a small and aging building; and

Whereas the owners, residents, residents' families and staff of the Glades have been pleading with the Department of Health for years to authorize a replacement building; and

Whereas the Department of Health Director of Long-Term Care repeatedly promised a public meeting held in early December that his recommendation would be on the minister's desk before Christmas;

Therefore be it resolved that this House urge the Minister of Health to act quickly and authorize a replacement for the Glades Lodge so that the tradition of excellent care can continue.
