Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues and Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the Member for Great Slave, that Bill 98, An Act to Amend the Emergency Management Act be read for the second time. Thank you.

Thank you, Member for Monfwi. If you'd like --

Jane Weyallon Armstrong Monfwi

Okay. No, no, I think I still have to proceed; sorry about that.

Mr. Speaker, the word "Indigenous" and "Aboriginal" cannot be found in the existing Emergency Management Act, and there is nothing in the act requiring coordination with Indigenous government or organizations in carrying out of emergency management duties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
