Hon. Tim McLeod: — Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I rise to move second reading of The Statute Law Amendment Act, 2025. This bill will make necessary housekeeping changes to multiple bilingual bills. The proposed changes form part of the government’s ongoing commitment to review and update legislation.

References to repealed legislation will be updated in The Constitutional Questions Act, 2012 and The Small Claims Act, 2016.

Terminology will be updated and spelling errors corrected in the following: The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997; The Enforcement of Maintenance Orders Act, 1997; The Family Maintenance Act, 1997; The International Child Abduction Act, 1996; The King’s Bench Act; and The Vital Statistics Act, 2009.

Section cross-references will be corrected in The Legislation Act and The Non-profit Corporations Act, 2022. These changes will not have a substantive impact on any of the Acts being amended.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to move second reading of The Statute Law Amendment Act, 2025.
