Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Weledeh, that Bill 23, Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act, 2002, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill corrects inconsistencies and errors in the statutes of the Northwest Territories. The bill also deals with other matters that are of a minor, non-controversial and uncomplicated nature in the statutes and repeals statutory provisions that have ceased to have effect. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
