Thank you committee. Clause 113. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you. There is a motion on the floor. To the motion. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Chair. This motion is intended to make a minor administrative correction to make the transitional provisions come into force. What is part 3 of the act, which has to do with interest and minerals, comes into force rather than part 5, which concerns benefits for people in communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. To the motion.

Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

Section 116 comes into force on the later of the day that section 18 comes into force, or section of the Public Land Act introduced in the 3^rd Session of the 18^th Legislative Assembly as Bill 46 comes into force. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister. There is a motion on the floor. The motion is in order. To the motion. Minister.

Just for clarity, Mr. Chair, the motion is intended to ensure that, regardless of whether the Public Land Act or the Mineral Resources Act comes into force first, the enabling authority for the mining regulations in the Northwest Territories Land Act or the Public Land Act over mineral rights will be repealed from the appropriate statutes once the Mineral Resources Act comes into force. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I raised this issue months ago with the department, and I don't know why it's just suddenly appearing now, but this is good. The Minister does listen once in a while, even if he comes in at the last minute. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

To the motion. I will put the question to committee. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.
