Thanks, Mr. Chair. I move that Bill 46 be amended by adding the following after clause 61:

61.1 (1) A copy of each regulation that the Commissioner on recommendation of the Minister, or the Commissioner in Executive Council, as the case may be, proposes to make under this act shall be published in the Northwest Territories Gazette, and a reasonable opportunity shall be afforded to interested persons to make representations to the Minister in respect of the proposed regulations.

(2) No proposed regulation need be published more than once under subsection (1), whether or not it is altered or amended after such publication as a result of representations made by interested persons as provided in that subsection.

(3) Subsection (1) does not apply to any regulation continued under section 62 of this act.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
