    Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that Bill 12, Garnishment Remedies Statutes Amendment Act, be read for the second time.

    Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Creditors Relief Act to provide that the wages or salary or a debtor may be garnished for a period of one year. Other incidental amendments are made to the act in respect of this amendment. The Exemptions Act is amended to exempt 70 percent of a judgment debtor's wages or salary from garnishment, subject to a minimum amount that may be prescribed. The Territorial Court Act is amended to revise the provision relating to the Territorial Court's jurisdiction in garnishment proceedings to correspond to the amendments made to the Creditors Relief Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
