Question has been called. The motion is carried.

---Carried

Does committee agree that Bill 65, An Act to Amend the Safety Act, is ready for third reading?

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Minister Ramsay, would you like to bring witnesses into the House?

I’m not disagreeable to this process. I think we need to take distracted driving out of the hands of the drivers in the Northwest Territories. My question to the department is how do we expect this to roll out and do we have a campaign or an advertising campaign to go with this so that people understand and know that there is more severity to the program than we currently have? I know we rolled it out when we doubled the fines. There was a bit of an advertising campaign and it got a little bit of play. Are we expecting that with this type of increase in the suspension area?

Clause 34. Mr. Yakeleya.

We’ll defer bill number and title until were completed. Clause 1.

---Clauses 1 through 9 inclusive approved

Thank you, committee. Committee has agreed to consider Bill 64, An Act to Amend the Co-operative Associations Act. I will ask the Minister responsible for the bill for introductions. Minister Ramsay.

I am just wondering: if it is like a demerit system, after you have done it for so long a period then it doesn’t… If I get one every five years then the second one doesn’t affect me after two years. Just like the demerits, it would come off the system, or can the Minister clarify that?

I will rise and report progress.

Clause 26 as amended.

---Clause 26 as amended approved
