Motion Text
I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that Bill 15, Gunshot and Stab Wound Mandatory Disclosure Act, be read for the second time.
This bill requires that all gunshot and stab wounds, other than those stab wounds reasonably believed to be self-inflicted or unintentionally inflicted, be reported by health facilities and ambulance services that treat those injuries. The bill outlines the information that must be reported and the circumstances that trigger the reporting obligation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
