Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by honourable Member for Nahendeh, that Bill 19, Electoral Boundaries Commissions Act be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker this bill provides for the establishment of two Electoral Boundaries Commissions, the Northwest Territories Boundaries Commission, which will review the existing electoral boundaries, and that part of the Northwest Territories that will not be included in Nunavut, and the Nunavut Electoral Boundaries Commission, which will review the existing boundaries in that part of the Northwest Territories, that will comprise Nunavut. Each commission will conduct public hearings in the course of this review and will subsequently prepare a report. This report will be made public and will be laid before the Legislative Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
