Item 17: Second Reading Of Bills

Rebecca Mike Baffin Central

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River, that Bill 3, Guardianship and Trusteeship Act, be read for the second time.

Madam Speaker, this bill provides for the court appointment of the guardian to make decisions on behalf of an adult who is incapable of independently managing his or her personal care or health care and for the court appointment of the trustee for an adult who is incapable of independently managing his or her financial affairs.

Some of the key provisions of this bill are concerned with the establishment of the office of the public guardian; the circumstances under which an adult may be found by a court to be in need of a guardian or a trustee; the procedures by which application may be made to the Supreme Court for guardianship and trusteeship orders; the powers and duties of the guardian or trustee when acting on behalf of an adult; and the consequential amendments that are required to integrate this bill with the Public Trustees Act, the Trustees Act and the Mental Health Act. Thank you.

I have taken a personal interest in this issue of guardianship for the last several years, Madam Speaker. I have been to several seminars on the whole issue of guardianship, and I have been in consultation with people who are considered to be innovators in both Manitoba and British Columbia, where they are trying to come to grips with this problem in a way that is a little bit different to what we were used to in the 1950s and 1960s. In my opinion, this bill does not reflect progressive, modern thinking about the way in which guardianship should be exercised on behalf of those people who may be capable of issuing a little bit of judgment themselves about a trustee relationship that makes more sense to them. Even though they perhaps do not have the capacities that everybody else has, there is some modern thinking today about how they should be approached. For that reason, I cannot support the principle of this bill.

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.
