The motion will be one of several issues before the Legislative Assembly as it sits this week, including the expected tabling of the government's response to the inquiry into the 2016 ACT election.

Mr Coe will bring on the motion in the wake of Mr Barr's comments a little over a week ago that he "hates journalists", a comment he has since backed away from publicly.

Mr Coe said such language, as well as comments Mr Barr made about older Canberrans' media consumption, was "absolutely unacceptable and quite offensive".

"You shouldn't get this kind of spiteful language from the leader of the government," he said.

"We want to send a strong message to the Chief Minister that our community doesn't tolerate this sort of behaviour.

Mr Coe said Mr Barr "latest outburst" was part of a "pattern of arrogant behaviour" and it was important Canberra's elected representatives "come together and say that this kind of language is inappropriate and that there is no place for it in our community".

While such a motion holds no specific consequences for the government, it gives the Assembly a chance to condemn a specific policy issue or public statements, like Mr Barr's statement.

But the Assembly will also be looking at the conduct of the 2016 election, the integrity commission, housing affordability and the ACT's cemeteries during the week among other issues.

The government's response to a committee inquiry into the 2016 election is due on Thursday, which will show whether it will act on a range of election issues including political donations from developers.

It will also outline what, if anything, the government proposes to do about the 100 metre exclusion zone from political campaigners near polling booths, and a spending loophole exploited by the CFMEU during the 2016 campaign.

Housing Minister Yvette Berry is expected to update the Assembly on the government's lengthy consultation on housing affordability in Canberra, including releasing a list of policy ideas the government plans to move on after last October's housing summit.

While the government has already released the government's response to the committee inquiry into an ACT integrity commission, the formal tabling of it could see some interesting debate on the matter.

The government is also expected to table its response to a committee inquiry into the management of the ACT's cemeteries, which could have implications for the land-strapped Woden cemetery.

A final report on the Economic Development committee's inquiry into a new convention centre for Canberra, which was originally proposed for the government scaled-back City to the Lake precinct, will be tabled.

Greens MLA Caroline Le Couteur will also introduce her bill to allow ACT women access to the abortion drug RU486 at home, something which some Canberra women are currently going across the border to obtain.

Transport Minister Meegan Fitzharris is also expected to introduce new legislation for reforms to transport laws to bring driver, passenger and ticketing requirements for the light rail into line with the ACTION bus network.

The Opposition is also expected to highlight a number of issues, with Jeremy Hanson calling for a new playground in Waramanga and Giulia Jones urging the government complete its hazard reduction burns by the end of Spring.

Liberal MLA Elizabeth Kikkert will call on the government to provide safety packs for first-time parents to help identify the warning signs of potential child abuse and Mark Parton will urge action on building system reforms that were meant to be completed last year.
