COMMITTEE MOTION 106-17(5): INFORMATION AND PRIVACY LEGISLATION FOR MUNICIPALITIES, CARRIED
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have a motion. I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories complete the work necessary to bring municipalities under access to information and protection of privacy legislation;
And further, that the Government of the Northwest Territories renew its commitment to produce and table a full and final report on this issue no later than August 2015, identifying the steps and resources necessary to complete this work in a timely manner;
And furthermore, that a proposal be included for phasing in this work such that tax-based municipalities be brought under the access to information and protection of privacy legislation without delay and leave open the possibility that smaller communities may be incorporated at a later date.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. The motion is on the floor and being distributed now. The motion is in order. To the motion. Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don’t need to comment much more than I already have. This motion is the result of the work of committee and the need that we felt to support the Information and Privacy Commissioner in her desire to get legislation for access to information and protection of privacy legislation for municipalities. This is the result of that work.
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. To the motion.
Question.
The motion is carried.
