BILL 4: AN ACT TO AMEND THE SOCIAL ASSISTANCE ACT

Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes, that Bill 4, An Act to Amend the Social Assistance Act, be read for the second time.

Mr. Speaker, this bill includes amendments that would:

replace social assistance appeal committees with an administrative review group that will hear appeals of decisions made by social welfare officers or the director;

limit the jurisdiction of social welfare officers, the administrative review group and the appeal board in respect of issues pertaining to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms;

make other minor changes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Bill 4 has had second reading.

---Carried

The honourable Government House Leader, Mr. Miltenberger.
