Sergeant-at-Arms, if I could please get you to escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you. Minister Lafferty, if I could please get you to introduce your witness for the record.

I don’t have anything on that page. Thank you, Mr. Bromley, there is no dollar figure on that page so there’s nothing to discuss. Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Bromley.

Okay. Activity summary, regional operations, Mr. Krutko.

Minister McLeod, on behalf of committee, I’d like to thank the witnesses for coming in for today. If I could please get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please exclude the witnesses, that would be great.

Next on the agenda is the Department of Justice. Minister Lafferty, do you have witnesses that you’d like to bring in today?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Just a comment. I have nobody else on my list. We’re on page 4-4, activity summary, regional operations, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment, $28.002 million. Agreed?

Thank you, committee. When we return from break, we’ll go to Tabled Document 66-16(5) with MACA, Justice and HR. Thank you.

This is one that worked. This is one that had value, yet I don’t seem to recognize or see any evidence that the authority and the department...

Mr. Speaker, I saw the letter that was sent. It says, congratulations, you have no money. There is no funding for 2011-12, so I am not sure what discussions could be had, based on the fact that they have cancelled the funding. What I am asking the Minister to do is work with her department and see if she could find the $250,000 it will take to run this incredibly important program for these families in Yellowknife. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I’ll be talking about the Yellowknife Association for Community Living’s respite program and the support it provides to residents of Yellowknife.

Last night I had the honour of attending a YACL family networking meeting. This meeting is a regular meeting of families who have children and adults with intellectual challenges. Parents met last night to discuss the respite funding cuts and the impact it would have on their families. It was a powerful meeting, Mr. Speaker.

Today I would like to tell you about the respite program. The program has been in effect since...
