BILL 3: ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS ACT

I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 3, Electronic Transactions Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill provides for the recognition of electronic communications and documents under Northwest Territories law, in the absence of specific treatment in each applicable enactment. This bill does not require the use of electronic communications, but does establish minimum standards that must be met when electronic documents and information are used in transactions. The bill also makes consequential amendments to the Interpretation Act to further authorize and regulate the use of electronic forms. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Bill 3 has had second reading and is referred to a standing committee.

---Carried

The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Lafferty.
