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, Chair. I move clause 116 and the heading immediately preceding clause 116 of Bill 34 be deleted and the following substituted:
116(1) The Public Land Act introduced in the 3rd session of the 18th Legislative Assembly as Bill 46 is amended by this section.
(2) The following provisions are repealed:
(a) section 6;
(b) paragraph 6.1(b);
(c) paragraph 52.1(1)(c); and
(d) paragraph 61(c) and (d)
(3) paragraphs 12.1(b) is amended by striking out "or six and commencement."
117(1) Subject to subsections 2 and 3, this act or any provisions of this act comes into force on the day or days to be fixed by order of the Commissioner.
(2) Section 115 come into force on the day that section 18 comes into force unless, before that day, the Northwest Territories Land Act has been repealed by subsection 79(2) of the Public Land Act introduced in the 3rd session of the 18th Legislative Assembly as Bill 46(3). 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 3rd Session of the 18th Legislative Assembly as Bill 46 comes into force.

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for the mining regulations in the Northwest Territories Land Act or the Public Land Act over mineral rights will be repealed from the appropriate statutes once the Mineral Resources Act comes into force.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.
