    Oct. 16, 1996 Passed Thank you Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Aivilik, that Bill 21, An Act to Amend the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, to provide that the term of an information and privacy commission appointed before March 31, 1999, expires on March 31, 1999. The bill repeals the provision that deems employees of the office of the Information and Privacy Commission to be members of the public service, and also repeals a provision requiring that the directory produced under the Act, contain a general description of the various categories of records controlled by public bodies. Thank you Mr. Speaker.

    Commissioner Maksagak

    As Commissioner of the Northwest Territories it gives me pleasure to assent to the following Bills: Bill 17, Business Corporations Act; Bill 18, An Act to Amend the Public Trustees Act; Bill 19, Electoral Boundaries

    Commissions Act; Bill 20, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 1, 1996-97, and Bill 21, An Act to Amend Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

    Mr. Speaker, and Members of the Legislative Assembly. Preparation for division of the Northwest Territories in 1999, which will create two new territories, continues at a steady pace. I was pleased to be advised that the November sitting of the Fourth Session would be devoted primarily to the consideration of constitutional development matters for Nunavut and the new western Territory.

    Prior to proroguing this session, I wish to announce that the Fourth Session of the 13th Legislative Assembly will convene on Tuesday, November 26, 1996, at 1:30 p.m.

    As Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, I hereby prorogue the Third Session of the 13th Legislative Assembly.
