Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to recognize Lesa. We went to Samuel Hearne together. I wish you all the best in the upcoming election. Also Robert Bouchard, the former MLA. It's good to have him here. It must be election time; just kidding. It's good to have him. We became good friends in the last Assembly, and it's always good to see him. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Testart. Next, we have Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. I will now turn to the chair of the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment, the committee that considered the bill, for opening comments. Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, committee. We decided to double check a couple of things here, but we will continue with a question by Mr. O'Reilly to the clerk, law clerk. Sorry, Mr. O'Reilly. With all the commotion there, could you restate the question, if there is one for the law clerk?

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. O'Reilly. Any further questions, committee? Mr. Vanthuyne.

Thank you, Mr. McNeely. I'll take that as a comment. General comments? Does committee agree that there are no further comments?
