Motion Text
Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 53, an Act to Amend the Liquor Act, be read for the second time.
This bill amends the Liquor Act to continue the Liquor Commission as the Northwest Territories Liquor and Cannabis Commission;
- Include the regulation of cannabis in the Commission's list of duties;
- Reinforce the separation of enforcement and adjudication responsibilities under the act by removing the supervision of enforcement actions from the Executive Secretary's duties;
- Remove provisions disqualifying persons from licensing eligibility on the basis of being charged with but not yet convicted of an offence; and.
- Clarify the rules pertaining to the personal importation of liquor into the Northwest Territories.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
