Thank you, Minister. I’d like to call on the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

If I could ask Minister Lafferty to please introduce your witness.

Go ahead. Thank you.

Thank you, committee. Bill 5, Write-off of Debts Act, 2010-2011 is now ready for third reading. Thank you, Minister and your witness, and I ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort your witness from the Chamber, or did you wish to have him stay for the next bill? In which case, I will call on the Minister to introduce Bill 6, the Forgiveness of Debts Act, 2010-2011.

Thank you, Minister Lafferty. I’d like to give the chairman of the Standing Committee on Social Programs the opportunity to also give comments on the bill. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, committee. We’ll start with a short break.
