Robert C. McLeod Inuvik Twin Lakes
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am here to present Bill 15, An Act to Amend the Fire Prevention Act.
This bill makes one technical amendment to the Fire Prevention Act to enable the fire marshal to act where an owner or occupant of a structure cannot be identified.
The Department of Justice legal counsel recommended that MACA amend the act so that it would be clear that the fire marshal can apply to the Supreme Court for permission to take corrective action where the fire marshal cannot establish the identity of the owner or occupant of the building. There are some additional minor amendments that follow from the technical amendment that have been recommended by legislation division.
I look forward to hearing comments from the Members and asking any questions.

Following the clause-by-clause review, a motion was carried to report Bill 15 to the Assembly as ready for consideration in Committee of the Whole.
