    March 9, 2011 Passed Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Monfwi, that Bill 2, An Act to Amend the Legislative Assembly Retiring Allowances Act and Supplementary Retiring Allowances Act, be read for the second time. Bill 2 amends the Legislative Assembly Retiring Allowances Act and the Supplementary Retiring Allowances Act to provide that allowances payable under the two acts may be divided upon the breakdown of a marriage or conjugal relationship outside marriage and to adjust the calculation of allowances for a Member who ceases service after October 18, 2011. Additional options are provided for former Members who become eligible for an allowance before attaining 65 years of age. Various provisions are also amended to ensure compliance with federal regulation to promote consistency between the Legislative Assembly Retiring Allowances Act and the Supplementary Retiring Allowances Act and to improve the clarity of expression of the two acts.
