Acts fall off the order
paper
Bill 16, amendments to
the Cities, Towns and Villages Act and Bill 17, the Hamlets Act fell off the
order paper last week after the standing committee on community empowerment
and sustainable development requested time to review concerns raised by members.
The bills received second
reading in November, but now must be reintroduced during a subsequent session.
"The committee is
in full support of empowerment initiatives, but strongly cautions the department
to ensure that policies are put in place to ensure that training, support and
resources are provided to match the increased powers and responsibilities that
may be undertaken by municipalities," said Baker Lake MLA Glenn McLean.
