MOTION 8-16(6): REVIEW OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND PROTECTION OF PRIVACY ACT

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, May 19, 2011, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Great Slave, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends the Government of the Northwest Territories undertake a comprehensive review of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, including an examination of access to information and privacy legislation in other Canadian jurisdictions and all past recommendations of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, and bring forward a bill during the first two years of the 17th Assembly;

And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories include mention of a need for a comprehensive review of the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act in any transition document or report to the 17th Assembly;

And furthermore, that the Government of the Northwest Territories provide a comprehensive response to this motion within 90 days. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
