Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nunakput, that Bill 13, Deh Cho Bridge Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill authorizes the Minister, with the approval of Commissioner and Executive council and on behalf of the Government of the Northwest Territories, to enter into agreements whereby a concessionaire will construct, operate and maintain the Deh Cho Bridge across the Mackenzie River. The concessionaire will have the powers and responsibilities of a highway authority under the public Highways Act in respect of the bridge, and the government may charge tolls for vehicular use of the bridge in accordance with regulations authorized by this bill. This bill also provides for the appointment of transport officers, for the penalty for offences under the act and regulations, and for the enhancement of regulations. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
