Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. Bassi-Kellett.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Minister is in error; you can track that information. This government has long-standing adjudication agreements with third-party adjudicators. Aside from the fact from cash-paying customers, they can track this information quite readily if they choose to do so.

Can the Minister indicate specifically what his office will do to improve small community clinical support network and the management of opiate prescribing and opiate addiction?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. We will just allow a moment for the motion to circulate.

The motion I have before us here is in order and is not debatable. The motion is defeated.

---Defeated

Committee, 3-7, Human Resources, department summary, operations expenditure summary, $23.636 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Minister Beaulieu.

I will read it out again. Information item, regional operations, active positions. Any questions? Seeing none, 3-27, activity summary, labour relations, operations expenditure summary, $2.818 million. Does committee agree? Ms. Bisaro.

It sounds like we’re hearing a broken record here today from the Minister. I heard the very same results here going back almost two years ago in this House on February 14, 2012, from the previous Minister of Health, that there was to be work undertaken with the Bureau of Statistics to include prescription drug abuse with a general addictions survey.

Can the Minister of Health today indicate whether or not this actually happened? Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I’ll treat that as a comment. Committee, we’re on 3-11, activity summary, directorate, operations expenditure summary, $3.817 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I know the Minister has noted that comment. Committee, 3-27, activity summary, labour relations, operations expenditure summary, $2.818 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. Bassi-Kellett.
