Thank you. Welcome. I will now turn to the chair of the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment, the committee that reviewed the bill for any opening comments on Bill 93. Member for Nunakput.

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.

Thank you, Member for Nunakput. Committee, may we forego general comments and proceed to a clause-by-clause review of the bill?

Committee, we will defer the bill number and title until after consideration of the clauses. We will go through the clauses in groups. Please turn to page 1 of the bill.

Clause 1 through 10, does committee agree?

Committee, to the bill as a whole, does committee agree that Bill 93, Practice of Engineering, Geoscience and Applied Science Technology Act, is now ready for third reading?
