Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Welcome, witness. General comments with regard to the Bill? Ms. Lee.

Sergeant-at-Arms, could you escort the witnesses in again.

For the record, Mr. Miltenberger, could you introduce your witnesses.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Finance in regard to the issue I raised about how fuel prices have declined greatly but our communities still pay a very high price. I used the situation in Aklavik, where the fuel increased by 3 cents to $1.76 a litre. To the Minister of Finance: do we have any consumer protection legislation in place that we can bring into force so that we can protect the consumers from these wide fluctuations in fuel prices?

Does committee agree that Bill 14 is ready for third reading?

Bill 14, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, approved for third reading.

Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witness in. Thank you.

For the record, Ms. Bisaro, could you introduce your witness.

At this time I’d like to ask the committee responsible for the bill if they have any comments. Mr. Abernethy.

Okay; we’ll switch to Bill 14. Page 1, clause 1.

Clauses 1 through 6 inclusive approved.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. At this time I’d like to ask Ms. Bisaro if she’ll be bringing any witnesses. Ms. Bisaro?

Next on our list we’re dealing with Bill 17, Forgiveness of Debts Act, 2008–2009. Mr. Yakeleya.

Do you want to clarify that for the record?
