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.

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

Do you want to clarify that for the record?

We’re on Bill 19, Donation of Food Act. At this time I’d like to ask the sponsor of the bill if she would like to make any opening comments. Ms. Bisaro.
