Do I have to say it all over again?

Mr. Chairman, I apologize for the faux pas. I move that clause 5(1) of Bill 2 be amended by

(a) deleting proposed subsection 41.02(1) and by substituting the following: 41.02. (1) In this subsection,

"emergency situation" means an emergency as reasonably determined by the Minister; -- I am assuming that it isn't necessary to read the French. Oh, it is, wonderful.

--Interjection

Oh, thank you.

"essential services" means services that are necessary to ensure a continuation of minimal service

(a) to protect the health and safety of the public,

(b) to prevent destruction or serious deterioration of machinery, equipment or premises, or

(c) to prevent disruption of the courts,

and includes services provided by the most senior employee at each power plant who has responsibility for the on-site operation of the plant.

(b) striking out "and" at the end of proposed paragraph 41.02(2)(d) of the English version;

(c) striking out the period at the end of the proposed paragraph 41.02(2)(e) and by substituting ";and"; and

(d) adding the following after proposed paragraphs 41.02(2)(e):

(f) setting out a protocol to deal with unanticipated emergency situations.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that clause 6(2) of Bill 2 be deleted and clauses 6(3) and (4) be renumbered respectively as clauses 6(2) and (3).

Mr. Chairman, this motion deletes 6(2), which had provided that if the parties are unable to reach an agreement within the time specified in subsection 4I.02(2), the next stage of the bargaining process is invoked; namely the appointment of a mediator. The proposal is to delete the words which would allow the parties to engage in collective bargaining negotiations for longer than 60 days and also allow them to appoint the mediator earlier than 60 days if the negotiations break down prior to the 60 days.

Roy Erasmus Yellowknife North

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to make a motion to amend the Public Service Act. I move that clause 9 of Bill 2 be amended by striking out "28 days" in proposed subparagraph 42(2)(d)(i) and by substituting "21 days."

This motion amends the proposed bill to allow the bargaining units to strike after 21 days rather than the proposed eight days in the original legislation. This makes the time frame for striking the same as the time frame for the Minister changing terms and conditions of employment and I make this motion for an amendment as a direct result of a request by the union. Thank you.
