Thank you very much, Mr. Bromley. I’ll take that as a comment. Page 9-23, Justice, activity summary, legal aid services, operations expenditure summary, $6.224 million. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Justice, activity summary, policing services, operations expenditure summary, $44.906 million. Mr. Yakeleya.

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Just before the break there was a motion on the floor. There was a motion that was read and about to be voted on and a Member was not in their seat at the time that that motion was read, so their vote cannot be counted. It was counted, so when we take that vote away then we have a tie.

The principle applied is this: where if no further discussion is possible, a decision should not be taken except by a majority. So that leaves it to the Chair to break the tie. According to our policies, our traditions, I will be voting against the motion...

Thank you, Mr. Haener. Mr. Bromley.

All those in favour, 8; all those opposed, 7. The motion is carried. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The Member has requested a recorded vote. All those in favour?

All those opposed?

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. I’m sorry; I couldn’t hear your last statement. Did you say that the deputy minister was going to explain something? Minister Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The motion is being distributed. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Yakeleya.
