Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I move, that clause 10 of Bill 7 be amended by:

(a) deleting proposed paragraph 31(1)(e) and by substituting the following:

(e) two persons appointed by the Commissioner in Executive Council who are neither judges nor members or former members of a law society in Canada.

(b) striking out, nor a member of the Law Society of the Northwest Territories in proposed subsection 31(4) and by substituting, nor a member or a former member of a law society in Canada;

(c) adding the following after proposed subsection 31(4):

(4.1) the Law Society of the Northwest Territories, in appointing persons under paragraph (1)(d) and subsection (3), and the Commissioner in Executive Council, in appointing persons under paragraph (1)(e) and subsection (4), shall consider the diversity of the population and the gender balance of the territories, but any failure to achieve balance in the composition of the Judicial Council does not affect the validity of any proceedings or decisions of the Judicial Council.

(d) adding the following after proposed section 31.6:

31.61(1) The Judicial Council may, subject to subsection (2), recommend to the Minister that compensation be paid to a complainant for all or part of his or her costs for legal services related to the complaint.

(2) The Judicial Council may only recommend that compensation be paid to a complainant under subsection (1) where

(a) the complaint is before the Judicial Council; and

(b) the Judicial Council determines that the costs for legal services were necessarily incurred due to the nature and the circumstances of the complaint.

(3) Where the Judicial Council recommends compensation under this section, the Judicial Council shall, subject to the regulations, recommend the amount of such compensation.

That is my motion, Mr. Chairman.
