With that explanation, Mr. Chair, I move that the following be added after clause 5 of Bill 17:

Insurance Act

5.1(1) The Insurance Act is amended by this section.

(2) The following definition is added in alphabetical order in subsection 1(1).

Spouse has the meaning assigned to that term by section 1 of the Family Law Act.

(3) The schedule is amended by:

a) deleting sub-item (2), comprised of the definition "spouse" in item B of subsection 2 - death benefits and loss of income payments; and

b) striking out "are husband and wife" in subparagraph 1(b)(i) and subsection 3 - definitions, exclusions and special provisions of this section and by substituting "are spouses".

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
