Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Hay River North, that Bill 76, An Act to Amend the Electoral Boundaries Act, be read for a second time.
Mr. Speaker, Bill 76 amends the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act to
- Establish a Commission within two years of the 2023 general election;
- Expand the size of the Commission;
- Broaden the eligibility to serve as chairperson of the Commission;
- Add geographic and place names to the relevant considerations of the Commission; and,
- Modernize language, including by using gender-neutral language.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
