Statements in Debates
Thank you, Minister Roland. Mrs. Groenewegen.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. What is the wish of committee? Mr. Lafferty.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just following up to some of the questions earlier in regard to the trade mission to China, it is a little bit odd that it’s taking place during an election campaign for most of us. The reason I wanted to bring this up, and I guess from where I sit on the Governance and Economic Development committee we first learned of the mission in June and that was via an invitation from the Minister to our chairperson to attend the trade mission. Obviously during an election, that’s going to be almost impossible for the Member to commit to that.
Total supplementary appropriation, $12.669 million.
Thank you, Minister Roland. Mrs. Groenewegen.
Mahsi, Mr. Villeneuve. Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe in thinking about the time here, maybe we could go into detail and I can ask specific questions as we move through the detail.
Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? Thank you, committee. The motion is passed.

Thank you very much, Minister Roland. I’d now like to ask Mr. Lafferty, the chairman of the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight, which reviewed the bill, to make committee's comments on the bill. Mr. Lafferty.
