I will now rise and report progress.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. General comments. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you Ms. Bisaro. Next on my list is Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just my opening comments with respect to this report. Early in the life of this Assembly, I had constituents start to come to me and talk about concerns that they had with the Child and Family Services Act. Quite frankly, in the beginning I couldn’t tell whether it was problems that we actually had with the act or whether it was problems that we had with the implementation. There were issues that certainly through the review become clear that there are a few gaps in the act. There are some things in the act that do need to be looked at and a few things that do need to...

Thank you, Ms. Lee. Is committee agreed?

We will move along to page 11-8, page 11-9 and page 11-10, activity summary, Environment and Natural Resources, forest management, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $1.403 million. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, committee. Mr. Miltenberger, if I could get you to please thank your witness and, Sergeant-at-Arms, if I could get you to please escort him out, that would be great.

As agreed earlier, the next department on our list is the Department of Finance, which is in section three of the binder. Michael Miltenberger, do you have witnesses that you wish to bring into the Chamber?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. We’ll now open the floor to general comments on Bill 9. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. I would now like to ask the chairperson for the Standing Committee on Social Programs, which reviewed this bill, to make comments. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you. Sergeant-at-Arms, could you please escort the witnesses into the Chamber?

Mr. Miltenberger, could I please get you to introduce your witness for the record?
