I’m quite pleased to hear that autism and programs in the North for autistic children will be on the transition document going into the 17th Assembly. What I was asking is that the Minister is going to be the Minister for the next couple of months, regardless of the election. There’s a great opportunity for the Minister to direct his staff to start doing some research into the alternate programs that exist in southern Canada. Every jurisdiction in this country offers programming for autistic children except the Northwest Territories. I’m asking that he in the interim have his department start...

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Committee agree?

Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 7, Community Planning and Development Act, and Bill 19, Cost of Credit Disclosure Act, and would like to report progress with one motion being adopted, and that Bill 19 is ready for third reading, and that Bill 7 is ready for third reading.
