Thank you, Mr. Testart. Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. Nakimayak.

Thank you, Mr. Vanthuyne. I just caution Members: try not to mention any names for future, but we will go on to Minister Schumann.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Mr. Guy.

Thank you, Ms. St-Denis. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Minister Schumann. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, committee. We will continue. Okay, committee, we are almost done. Information items on pages 222 to 226. Any questions, committee? Mr. Vanthuyne.

Does committee agree that Bill 32: Naturopathic Profession Statutes Amendment Act is now ready for third reading?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am glad the Minister mentioned that because that is one thing we are trying to do, is combine the small employment fund with the community access fund, which would have gone a lot further, I believe. Right now, the way this fund is being managed, I know it's outside his department, so I will not go there right now. I think it would have gone a lot further if we did combine those two pots of money for the community access. It would have brought the fund up to way more than double what it is now. I think that is something for the transition committee to possibly suggest...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am glad the department is looking at it, as the Minister stated, that, if emergency response is not working, then they will look at a full-time nurse. I look forward to that, and I will be sure to keep on top of this, as well. I thank the Minister for that commitment. Will the Minister live up to that commitment?
