Thank you, Madam Chair. My questions surround the topic of emergency shelters. I’m hoping the Minister of Justice is also listening to these questions. The Member for Yellowknife Centre brought up in general comments yesterday the issue of the Yellowknife downtown emergency shelter. He went into great lengths to talk about the concerns that the citizens around the shelter area have with respect to how things are being run. The fact that there is still consumption of alcohol happening, delinquency, no solutions being offered. If they are, they are being remiss in doing so.

The Member used a term...

Committee, I would like to have you return to page 8-7, Health and Social Services, department summary, operations expenditure summary, $349.926 million. Committee agree?

Page 2-17, Executive, activity summary, Ministers’ offices, operations expenditure summary, $2.970 million.

Thank you, Premier McLeod. Do you have any witnesses you wish to bring into the Chamber?

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger, Mr. Kalgutkar, Mr. Aumond. Welcome back to the House. We are on Finance. I am opening the floor to general comments. I have Ms. Bisaro.
