Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Sahtu, that Bill 26, Nunavut Workers' Compensation Statutes Amendment Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Workers' Compensation Act duplicated for Nunavut by section 29 of the Nunavut Act (Canada) to permit the Workers' Compensation Board to continue under the Workers' Compensation Act (Northwest Territories) and the appeals tribunal established under that act to act, after the establishment of Nunavut, as the Workers' Compensation Board and appeals tribunal for both the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
This bill also makes consequential amendments to the Public Service Act and the Financial Administration Act as duplicated for Nunavut by section 29 of the Nunavut Act (Canada). Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
