Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 4, An Act To Amend the Mining Safety Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this bill would amend the Mining Safety Act to provide that a worker at a mine must be trained in a worker training program and instructed in the hazards associated with his or her employment; to ensure that a worker is trained in mine emergency survival; to require the owner of a mine to maintain prescribed equipment and provisions at a mine refuge station; to provide for the appointment of training co-ordinators; to provide for offences; and to increase penalties for contravention of the Mining Safety Act and the regulations. Thank you.
