Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 25 of 1948. A BILL TO AMEND THE VITAL STATISTICS ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The Yital Statistics Act. A coroner holding an inquest usually issues his warrant to bury the body immediately after the coroner and jury have viewed the body. Sometimes an adjournment of several weeks is necessary in order to obtain the evidence of a witness who may be in hospital or otherwire tempor arily unavailable and until all the evidence is heard, no finding can be made as to the ,cause of death.

Section of The Vital Statistics Act requires the coroner to send the Registrar a certificate of the cause of death "before issuing his warrant for burial under The Coroner's Act". The amendment cures this difficulty by striking out the words quoted above. W. S. GRAY, Legislative Counsel.
