    Oct. 7, 1994 Passed Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that Bill 4, An Act to Amend the Liquor Act, be read for the third time.
    April 6, 1994 Passed Thank you, Madam Speaker and colleagues. Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Baffin Central, that Bill 4, An Act to Amend the Liquor Act, be read for the second time. Madam Speaker, in general, this bill will widen the scope of the local option system for liquor control set out in the Liquor Act. It will permit more effective enforcement of several provisions of the act. The bill will also give the Liquor Licensing Board more control over its proceedings. More specifically, this bill will allow a community in which a brew pub licence, cocktail licence or dining room licence is enforced to hold a plebiscite to determine whether a liquor restriction or prohibition should be established in the community that would not apply to the sale of liquor for consumption in licences premises. This bill will also enable the Minister, at the request of a community, to prohibit, by order, the consumption, possession, purchase, sale or transportation of liquor in a community in which a special occasion is to occur. It will also make the sale or supply of liquor to persons under the age of 19 years, a strict liability offence and permit the Liquor Licensing Board to make orders governing its proceedings including orders for cost.

    Deputy Commissioner Mrs. Maksagak

    Madam Speaker, and Members of the Legislative Assembly, I want to take this opportunity to say how pleased I am with the recent visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and His Royal Highness Prince Phillip. I feel that both the western and Nunavut celebrations gave us the opportunity to give the royal couple a successful overview of who we are and how we live, while providing some of that famous northern hospitality.

    I would also like to express my appreciation to the Honourable Daniel Norris for his work as Commissioner of the Northwest Territories. He was always supportive of the goals and objectives of the people of the NWT, and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavours.

    Madam Speaker, and Members of the Legislative Assembly, as Deputy Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, it gives me great pleasure to assent to the following bills: Bill 4, An Act to Amend the Liquor Act; Bill 5, Mine Health and Safety Act; Bill 6, Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act; Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Charter Communities Act; Bill 10, An Act to Amend the Cities, Towns and Villages Act; Bill 11, An Act to Amend the Hamlets Act; and, Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Commissioner's Land Act.
