Agreed. Thank you, committee. We will go clause by clause now, starting on page 1. Bill 2, Supplementary Appropriation Act, No. 4, 2004-2005, clause 1.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to thank the Minister for recognizing this need and I would also like to mention the fact that the families out there that do access this non-medical respite are truly grateful for the help that they receive. I would like to ask the Minister if or when the evaluation on that pilot project is complete, he would share it with all the Regular Members of this House? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. That line of questioning is off the topic. We're dealing specifically with Supplementary Appropriation, No. 4, and we'd like to keep our questions relevant to the discussion at hand. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Voytilla.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am wondering if the Minister is aware that there is currently a waiting list for families wishing to access respite care and the fact that there are…I believe my constituent was, I think, number 11 or 12 on a list. I find it hard to believe that a family would have to be put on a list. You start to wonder, there are 11 other families that are impacted by being on this waiting list. Is the Minister aware of a waiting list and what steps is he going to take to try to address the concerns of the people that need this service? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Pokiak. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Voytilla.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I’d like to seek unanimous consent to return to item 6, oral questions.
