Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker,

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Weledeh, that Bill 16, Interjurisdictional Support Orders Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill is based on model legislation developed by a committee of federal, provincial and territorial government officials to provide uniform and simplified processes for obtaining, varying and recognizing support orders in cases in which one party resides in the Northwest Territories and one party resides in another jurisdiction in Canada or elsewhere that has been designated as a reciprocating jurisdiction.

The bill would replace the Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act and make consequential amendments to the Maintenance Orders Enforcement Act and the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
