Minister of Justice Tracy McPhee tabled Bill No. 15 today, entitled the Miscellaneous Statute Law Amendment Act, 2022. The Bill proposes amendments that would correct and update 25 Acts that currently have typos, language errors or outdated names and references. These changes are minor and editorial in nature.
Miscellaneous statute law amendments must be made every few years to reflect changes to other Yukon Acts, federal legislation, international agreements or changes to official names.
Every few years, governments are responsible for tabling miscellaneous statute bills in order to ensure that pieces of legislation are up-to-date and accurate. The Bill tabled today would correct and update over two dozen Yukon acts to reflect modern day language and continue to serve Yukoners.
