    June 5, 2014 Passed Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that Bill 29, Human Tissue Donation Act, be read for the second time. This bill sets out a framework for which consent can be given for the use of human tissue for the purpose of transplantation, a therapeutic purpose, medical education or scientific research. In certain cases, the approval of an independent assessment committee is required and appeal of the committee’s decision to the Supreme Court is provided for. The bill prohibits medical practitioners from participating in the determination of the death of a donor if they have had any association with the proposed recipient of the donor’s tissue or if they will be involved in the transplantation procedure. The bill also prohibits commercial activity in human tissue. Finally, the bill authorizes the Minister to enter into an agreement with other jurisdictions for mutual recognition and execution of consents. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
