Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nunakput, that Bill 13, An Act to Amend the Fair Practices Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Fair Practices Act to expand the powers of fair practices officers for investigations, hearings and disputes. The bill also provides for the registration of the order of a fair practices officer with the territorial court. The bill also creates a separate offence for disobeying an order or decision of a fair practices officer and sets fines for those offenses. Thank you.
