Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Deh Cho, that Bill 15, Court Security Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill implements security measures for the protection of court personnel and persons attending court. The bill prohibits persons, other than authorized persons, from possessing weapons in court areas, and provides that security officers may screen persons for weapons if they are entering, or are in, court areas. The bill prohibits persons, other than authorized persons, from entering areas designated as restricted personnel zones, or from operating cameras, cell phones and certain other equipment in areas designated as restricted equipment zones. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
