Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Ms. LeClair. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 37-16(2), Main Estimates 2008–2009, Volumes 1 and 2; Bill 11, An Act to Amend the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act; Bill 9, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 4, 2007–2008; Committee Reports 4, 5, 6 and 7; and would like to report that Committee Reports 4, 5, 6 and 7 are concluded and that Bills 11 and 9 are ready for third reading.

Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Minister Roland.

Recognizing the clock, does the committee agree that consideration of committee reports 4, 5, 6 and 7 is concluded?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Roland.

Thank you.

Bill 9, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 4, 2007–2008, approved for third reading.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just following up on those comments of the Minister and the collections brought up by my colleague. For Stanton, I believe about half of the debt for the Stanton Territorial Health Authority is due to billing disputes for services to Nunavut residents. I’m wondering if the basis of this dispute has been remedied. Are we no longer accruing debts because of billing disputes, and do we have a billing protocol that’s acceptable now in place?

To the Preamble.

Preamble approved.

Great. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I think it would be great, as leaders for the territory, to be able to point the finger at ourselves as leading in all ways. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
