Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Baffin Central, that Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Charter Communities Act, be read for the second time.

Madam Speaker, this bill clarifies the authority of a municipal corporation to establish, operate and restore public quarries. The bill also clarifies the authority of a municipal corporation to enter into and implement an agreement that delegates responsibility to the municipal corporation for the administration of Commissioner's land. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, I will be supporting the principle of the bill. As Members know in this House, I have been an advocate of community governments. I think the principle of the bill will give municipal corporations an opportunity to establish, operate and even restore a public quarry, particularly on Commissioner's land. I encourage Members to support this bill. Thank you.
