    Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, that Bill 7, Pharmacy Act, be read for the second time.

    Mr. Speaker, this bill provides for the regulation of the practice of pharmacy in the Northwest Territories. It sets out requirements for registration as a pharmacist and application procedures. The scope of the practice of pharmacy is outlined and penalties are imposed on persons who practice without a licence or temporary permit.

    The bill adopts national drug schedules established by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities. Certain drugs may only be dispensed under the authority of a prescription and requirements for valid prescriptions are specified.

    A process for the review of conduct of pharmacists is established, including a complaints mechanism, a description of unprofessional conduct, an option for alternative dispute resolution and a hearing process.

    The existing Pharmacy Act is repealed and transitional matters are provided for. Consequential amendments are made to the Evidence Act, the Midwifery Profession Act and the Tobacco Control Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
