Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, Bill 20, Municipal Statutes Amendment Act, will give municipalities in the Northwest Territories the authority to enact bylaws to prohibit trespass within their boundaries. This law is consistent with the GNWT objective of building community capacity. Community governments have funding for bylaw enforcement through Municipal and Community Affairs Operating Assistance Transfers. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs developed this amendment after consulting with the NWT Association of Municipalities which supported the proposal. This amendment meets the need that was identified in this Legislative Assembly. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
