Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to follow up on my Member’s statement on the subject of the 911 emergency call centres. It is clearly agreed by all Members of the 17th Assembly that we support sustainable, vibrant and safe communities. Recently in this House, we’ve heard from the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs that he was considering to plan some monies for the 2014-2015 budget for the opportunities to explore 911 implementation.

Okay, committee, if I can get you to turn to page 3 of your document, Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 3, 2012-2013. Human Resources, operations expenditures, employee services, not previously authorized, $921,000. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Kalgutkar. Committee, again, page 5, Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 4, 2011-2012. Transportation, capital investment expenditures, highways, not previously authorized, $6.810 million. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. For that we’ll go to Minister Miltenberger.

Now, many, even back...

Thank you, committee. Opening comments, Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Aumond. Committee, we’re on page 7, supplementary health programs, not previously authorized, $2.302 million.

We’ll go into detail. Committee, we are dealing on page 5 of the supplementary appropriation, infrastructure expenditures. Mr. Bouchard.
