Thank you, committee. I will now ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses into the Chamber.
Mr. McLeod, can I please get you to introduce your witnesses for the record?
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Bohnet.
Okay, I’d like to thank Ms. Melhorn. If I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witness out. That was the department summary.
Alright, next on our agenda is Bill 8, the Social Work Profession Act. I’ll now ask the Minister responsible for the bill, the honourable Minister Miltenberger, to introduce the bill. No, sorry, my bad. I will now ask the Minister responsible for the bill, the Honourable Sandy Lee, Minister of Health and Social Services, to introduce the bill.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Tabled Document 66-16(5), NWT Capital Estimates 2011-2012, as well as Bill 8, Social Work Profession Act, and Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Tourism Act, and would like to report progress and that Bills 8 and 9 are ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Mahsi.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement I talked about the AIP today. My questions are for the Premier.
What I am mostly looking for here is clarity. I think there is a lot of confusion about content of the AIP. I think it is up to us and Cabinet in particular to make sure that people really understand the content of the AIP.
I have read it. I have pulled it down from the CBC website and I have read it. I am curious what the Premier is planning to do other than what the Premier started with today. There was some information today, which is great. But what next steps is the Premier going...
Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. On that, I would ask the Minister responsible for the bill if he would like to bring some witnesses into the House. Mr. McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Bromley.
Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. We’re on page 3-2, which is the departmental summary for the Department of Finance, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $925,000.
Thank you, Mr. Minister, and I would like to thank your witnesses. If I could please get the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort our witnesses from the Chamber.
What is the wish of committee? Mr. Beaulieu.
