Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased to be here today to introduce the Division Measures Act. This Bill, Mr. Chairman, and its companion bills, the Nunavut Statutes Replacement Act, and the Nunavut Statutes Amendment Act, are essential legislative initiatives to allow for a smooth transition to division.
Part 1 of this bill can be divided into two main types of amendments. The first deals primarily with Northwest Territories professional associations that have expressed a desire for their associations to maintain a relationship between their Northwest Territories and Nunavut members after division.
