Thank you, Madam Chair. Obviously, everything in this act is legally necessary: changing the reference numbers, changing the title of acts. One item that was mentioned by the Premier in his opening statements was to avoid a gap regarding the places of detention, which is in the current NWT Act but has not been copied in Bill 15. Other examples are the changes to the Public Service Act and the Human Rights Act. Amendments are being made to those statutes in order to void any conflict between the Devolution Agreement and those statutes. In order to have greater certainty, we’ve put in those provisions to ensure that there is no possible argument about conflict. Thank you, Madam Chair.
