Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for lqaluit, that Bill 27, Wildlife Conservation Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill would repeal and replace the Wildlife Act to ensure the protection and preservation of wildlife. Part I applies to persons in the Territories, other than the Inuvialuit in the Western Arctic region and any other aboriginal persons, if any, to whom the same rights have been extended under the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, and sets out the licensing system, the rules for hunting wildlife and related activities and provisions for wildlife management. Part II applies to the Inuvialuit and to other aboriginal persons to whom the same rights have been extended under the Inuvialuit Final Agreement and incorporates into the bill the provisions of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement respecting wildlife harvesting and provides for rules for hunting wildlife that are for the purpose of public safety or conservation. Part III sets out administrative provisions and Part IV sets out offences and penalties that apply to all persons in the Territories. Thank you.
