Thank you, Madam Chair. I’m not going to question the math on the base rate but again this number hasn’t been negotiated previous to coming down to the House today. I would have appreciated having that in previous discussion on this, if possible. That said, have these numbers for base rates been published that are accessible for Members and the general public?

No further questions. Thank you.

I’m appreciative that we’re not drunken sailors and it’s a sobering thought that we’re not.

Again, I don’t want to get into a statistical rampage with the Minister here. Again, I mean, stats-wise they say 42 cents of every tax dollar in Canada is being spent in health, and it’s clear that the NWT is spending well under that. The Minister says 34 cents. I believe that number is relatively lower. If we factor some of the pertinence of real health care, I think the number is probably closer to 27 percent. That said, I’ll have more questions with respect to details in the Health area.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Tabled Document 1-17(2), Interim Appropriation 2012-2013; and Bill 1, An Act to Amend the Borrowing Authorization Act, and would like to report progress with two motions being adopted and that Bill 1 is ready for third reading and consideration of Tabled Document 1-17(2) is concluded, that the House concur with those estimates and that an appropriation bill to be based thereon be introduced without delay. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.
