Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 61, An Act to Amend the Public Airports Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill amends the Public Airports Act to bring provisions regarding regulation to traffic and pedestrians into greater harmony with the Motor Vehicles Act; increase the maximum duration of a lease to 30 years; specify how unclaimed personal property other than motor vehicles is disposed of and where the proceeds of the sale of that property end up; increase the maximum fine from $2,000 to $5,000 to achieve harmony with the Motor Vehicles Act; make consequential amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act so that enforcement officers have similar powers as motor vehicle officers under the act on public airport highways and make other amendments to enhance clarity. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
