Sergeant-at-Arms, you may escort the witnesses from the Chamber. Thank you to the witnesses for joining us. I must say thank you to all the Pages, to all the translators, to all the Clerk staff in the back for sticking it out through this late-night session here. Mr. Beaulieu, what is the wish of committee?

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. There is a motion to report progress. The motion is in order and nondebatable. All those in favour? All those opposed?

I will now rise and report progress.

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 19318(3), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures) No. 2, 20182019, and Tabled Document 19418(3), Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 2, 20182019, and would like to report progress, and that consideration of Tabled Documents 19318(3) and 19418(3) are concluded, that the House concur on those estimates, and that appropriation bills to be based thereon be introduced without delay. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Masi. Do I have a seconder? Member for Tu NedheWiilideh. The motion is in order. All those in favour? All those opposed?

Carried

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Hay River South, that Bill 5, An Act to Amend the Summary Conviction Procedures Act, be read for the third time, and Mr. Speaker, I request a recorded vote. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Masi. Just for the record, the Member has requested a recorded vote. Member for Nahendeh.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, that Clause 2 of Bill 5 be amended in the English version of the proposed section 1.1 by striking out "an administrative monetary penalty for the contravention of the bylaw" and substituting "an administrative monetary penalty regime applicable to contraventions of that bylaw." Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Masi. The motion is in order. The motion is being distributed on the floor. To the motion. Member for Nahendeh.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This motion proposes a relatively small change in wording that was identified by committee immediately before the clausebyclause review. As there was not time to draft and translate the motion without delaying the clausebyclause review, the committee and the Minister agreed that it would be acceptable to move this motion in the House.

It appears that there was some misunderstanding about who would be moving the motion during the Committee of the Whole review, and it was not moved as a result. However, the committee feels that the clarity provided by this motion is desirable and that the bill should be amended prior to third reading. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Masi. To the motion. Member for Yellowknife Centre.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am seconding this motion because, as my honourable colleague said, the committee feels that the clarity provided is desirable and improves Bill 5. It is our duty, of course, as legislators to deliver the best legislation that we can. Mahsi.

Masi. To the motion. Member for Nahendeh.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have nothing further to add to this at this time, but I wish to have a recorded vote. Thank you.

Masi. There is a request for a recorded vote. To the motion.
