Thank you, Madam Chair. Bill 93, Practice of Engineering, Geoscience and Applied Science Technology Act received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on June 2nd, 2023. It was referred to the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment for review.
Bill 93 gives the Northwest Territories Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists new powers and duties. In the committee's review period, the committee received two verbal submissions on the bill. Clause-by-clause review of Bill 93 was held on July 25th, 2023. The committee proposed the amendment of legislation -- or to legislate the online publishing of more information, and the Minister concurred.
I'd like to thank the committee for its hard work, because economic development committee is the best, and on the review of the bill 93. Individual Members may have additional comments, Madam Chair, or questions. Thank you.
