    Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Thebacha, that Bill 17, An Act to Amend the Public Colleges Act, be read for the second time.

    Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Public Colleges Act to remove references that provide for multiple colleges so as to limit its application to Aurora College. The bill also

    alters the composition and tenure of persons serving on the Aurora College Board of Governors, including:

    • • reducing the number of persons selected from each region to serve on the board from two to one;
    • • reducing the term of student representatives on the board from three years to one year;
    • • requiring that additional persons who may be appointed to the board by the Minister have expertise that would contribute to Aurora College operations.

    References to the Science Advisory Council have been replaced by references to the Research Advisory Council. Mr. Speaker, the bill also provides Aurora College with express authority to grant prescribed applied bachelor degrees. Inoperative provisions are also repealed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
