Turn to section 7-9. Justice, activity summary, corrections, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $465,000.

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Minister Beaulieu.

Good afternoon, colleagues. I would like to welcome you to Committee of the Whole and call to order. What is the wish of the committee? Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. If I could get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please bring the witnesses into the Chamber.

Mr. Abernethy, would you like to introduce your witnesses to the Chamber, please?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Final supplementary, Mr. Bromley.

Thanks to the Minister for the comments there. Public perception seems to be polarized on the issue on the use of cell phones while driving. Too many, as we indicated, are taking the chance of not getting caught, as they’re feeling no fear of such activity. Is it time to raise the stakes? I think many of us are saying yes.

Would the Minister consider improving the safety of our territory with an amendment of the act which authorizes the removal and confiscation of the illegal and dangerous use of a mobile tool while driving?

Thank you very much. I’d like to thank Mr. Beaulieu and his witnesses, Mr. Elkin and Ms. DeLancey. Any comments, Mr. Beaulieu?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. There are no further questions. We will go next on the list. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Madam Chair. My questions will be under the project listing of deferred maintenance. Before I ask my questions here, I think it’s important that the people listening at home understand the definition of what is deferred maintenance versus regular maintenance, and I would ask the Minister to set the record straight on the definition of both those terms. Thank you.

I guess my next question: These prototypes, are they vetted through the different associations, the Nurses Association, the Medical Association, for their input on usability and getting some ideas from the ground up, in terms of making these so-called pilot designs user friendly and adaptable to the northern climate and to the northern type of experience that health care does require?
