Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker,

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that Bill 8, An Act to Amend the Motor Vehicles Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Motor Vehicles Act to clarify the provisions relating to seat belts and child restraint systems. The bill also limits the number of persons who may ride in a motor vehicle and specifies that they must be in designated seating positions unless they are riding in certain specified vehicles. The bill also removes the exemption that allows persons to ride in the box of a truck in certain circumstances. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
