Thank you. Bring in some witnesses.

Thank you. Minister Roland, please introduce the witnesses you have with you today.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to thank the Minister and, again, thanks for the increase. I think there is a lot of students out there in the Northwest Territories who will welcome the new ceiling. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Mr. Parker.

Thank you very much, Ms. Lee. Now I would like to ask the Minister if he would like to bring in witnesses.

Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Next on the list for general comments I have Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you. I would like to call committee of the Whole to order. The first order of business is dealing with Bill 13, Change of Name Act. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services, Mr. Roland, to please introduce the bill.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am just wondering if the Minister could just provide who he is going to be consulting with when he talks about consultation.

Thank you, Minister Roland. Anything further, Mr. Pokiak?

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to continue with some questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services getting back to the closure and I guess now the reopening of the surgery ward at Stanton. If the ward did in fact reopen on the 13th, I’d like to know what patients and families visiting patients on the surgery ward, now that the patient lounge has been converted into office space, where do patients and families go to get out of their rooms and to get some relaxation on that ward? Thank you.
