Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Continuing on with detail again, we are on pages 14 and 15, which are the project listings on Education, Culture and Employment. I have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Minister. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. I would like to thank our guests today. Mr. Lovely, Mr. Stewart, thanks for joining us and, of course, the Minister for joining us as well. If I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort our witnesses out of the Chamber, I will now rise and report progress. Thank you, committee.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. More of a comment, but I will allow the Minister opportunity to reply. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Frame Lake, that Committee Report 21-17(5) be received and adopted by this Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, committee. If I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the House.

Minister Lafferty, if you’d be kind enough to introduce your witnesses to the House, please.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The New Brunswick Fiscal Transparency and Accountability Act goes as far as to impose a $2,500 penalty on Cabinet Ministers who fail to meet their financial targets.

Given that our Ministers operate in a vacuum, can the Minister indicate what penalties, if any, are imposed on our Ministers who fail to meet their financial targets?

Thank you, Mr. Stewart. Mr. Bouchard.

Before we do so, I’d like to thank our guests here today, Mr. Neudorf, Mr. Guy, Mr. Kalgutkar and, of course, Minister Miltenberger. If I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort our witnesses out of the Chamber.

Committee, as agreed earlier, we are going to turn our attention now to the capital estimates, Department of Education, Culture and Employment. With that, we’ll turn it over to the Minister to see if he has any witnesses he’d like to bring into the House. Minister Lafferty.
