We’ll defer the summary on page 2-51 and proceed to the detail with the information item on Active Positions, pages 2-52 and 2-53. Any questions? Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. I wonder if Mr. Hawkins would hand over one last question, being mindful of the clock here. You have 12 seconds left if you insist on going forward.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. I know he was well practised in the swimming actions there. I'm interested if our ferries are dead in the water without a fuel supply. Other than that response, has the Minister ensured, given the volatility of fuel supplies and the increasing uncertainty, that our communities have developed effective emergency management plans to deal with that situation?

I’ll go to Ms. Bisaro. Again, questions on the Main Estimates here.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. General comments.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. Hawkins?

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. We are getting into an area that’s probably more appropriately addressed during question period, but I will allow the Minister to respond if he wishes.

May I ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to bring in witnesses. Mr. Minister, when you’re ready, I’ll ask you to introduce your witnesses.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Anything further, Mr. Ramsay? Nothing further? I had Mr. Abernethy on the list next, but since he had talked and we’re running out of time here, I appreciate his holding off. We’ll go to Mr. Jacobson.

Any further questions on these two pages? I’m hearing none. We’ll move on to our first votable item, on 2-55. Under Human Resources, Operations Expenditure Summary, $705,000, under Directorate. Let me repeat that: under the Directorate, Operations Expenditure Summary, $705,000. Agreed? Mr. Ramsay.
