Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. I’d like to ask the Minister if he wishes to bring in witnesses at this time and ask if the committee agrees that we bring in some witnesses. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Bill 19, Appropriation Act, 2005-2006, and Committee Report 9-15(3), and would like to report progress with one motion being adopted. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Mr. Yakeleya.

Good afternoon and welcome back, Committee of the Whole. We had general comments and I will open the floor now to general comments. Is committee ready for detail? As we agreed, the Department of Finance is the first up, with Mr. Roland. I would like to ask the Minister to provide his opening comments on the departmental estimates for the Department of Finance.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. Ms. Lee. Ms. Melhorn; sorry.

Is that a motion?

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Minister.
