Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that Clause 2 of Bill 5 be amended in the English version of the proposed section 1.1 by striking out "an administrative monetary penalty for the contravention of the bylaw" and substituting "an administrative monetary penalty regime applicable to contraventions of that bylaw." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This motion proposes a relatively small change in wording that was identified by committee immediately before the clause-by-clause review. As there was not time to draft and translate the motion without delaying the clause-by-clause review, the committee and the Minister agreed that it would be acceptable to move this motion in the House.

It appears that there was some misunderstanding about who would be moving the motion during the Committee of the Whole review, and it was not moved as a result. However, the committee feels that the clarity provided by this motion is desirable and that the bill should be amended prior to third reading. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am seconding this motion because, as my honourable colleague said, the committee feels that the clarity provided is desirable and improves Bill 5. It is our duty, of course, as legislators to deliver the best legislation that we can. Mahsi.
