Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the Member for Yellowknife Centre that Bill 29, First Responders Workers' Compensation Amendment Act, be read for a second time.
This bill proposes to make amendments to the Workers' Compensation Act that expands presumptive disease coverage for firefighter cancers and heart diseases and creates new presumptive disease coverage for post-traumatic stress disorder cases affecting first responders. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
