Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There's been a number of difficulties in bringing Nunavut lands into the land titles system. The difficulties arise while attempting to transfer interests that are on record in the territorial lands system and put them in the land titles system. The amendments contained in Bill 27 are intended to deal with the problems that have been encountered when attempting to bring instruments and other registrations from one system to the other.

The committee supports the amendments which allow for the transfer of documents from one system to another while ensuring that third-party interests are preserved and the integrity of the land titles system is protected. On March 29, 1995, the committee passed a motion that Bill 27, An Act to Amend the Land Titles Act, was ready for consideration in committee of the whole. That's the end of our report, Mr. Chairman.
