Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Sahtu that Bill 5, An Act to Amend the Workers' Compensation Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Workers' Compensation Act, to protect the co-workers of a worker and the employer of a worker from lawsuits in respect of transportation accidents arising out of and during the course of the worker's employment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
