Statements in Debates
As I mentioned, there are concerns from a couple of GSOs talking about how the program is being offered. They know it's a great program. You know they're happy doing what they do, but their challenge is dealing with the federal government's outdated network. That's the whole issue here. Like they say, they're always listening, so I'm sure they will tackle it pretty quickly here. What is being done or can be done to address the concerns raised by the GSOs?
Agreed. Thank you. We will move on to Environment and Natural Resources. We will defer the departmental total until after consideration of the activity summary. Environment and Natural Resources, corporate management, infrastructure investment, $200,000. Does committee agree?
Thank you, Minister McLeod. Would you like to add something?
Thank you, Mr. Thompson. Minister Schumann.
Thank you. Thank you, committee. Do you agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 511-18(3): Capital Estimates 2020-2021?
Thank you, Minister Cochrane. Ms. Green.
Thank you, Ms. Green. Any further comments or questions? Health and Social Services, community health programs, infrastructure investments, $47,937,000. Does committee agree?
Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Minister Schumann.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As a follow-up to my Member's statement, I have a few questions for the Honourable Premier. As I mentioned, there are a few issues with the network that our GSOs are using, computers freezing. It seems like there's a problem when they're entering the data. That's a whole issue here. It's not filling out the forms. They've been doing it prior to this. I'd like to ask the Premier: is the Department of Executive aware of problems that some GSOs are having navigating the federal system? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister McLeod. Any further questions from committee? Seeing none, we will start again on Education, Culture and Employment, early childhood and school services, infrastructure investments, $33,798,000. Does committee agree?
