Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Yellowknife South that Bill 79, An Act to Amend the Judicature Act, be read for the second time.

This bill amends the Judicature Act to

• Replace and update references to the Agreement on Internal Trade with the Canadian Free Trade Agreement of 2017; and,
• Add provisions respecting judges of the Court of Appeal who may continue to be seized of actions or causes that they have started to hear before they ceased to hold office.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
