Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’m glad to hear that the matter is not concluded and that the Premier has expressed a willingness today to meet with the principals of Rowe’s Construction to see this matter brought to a satisfactory conclusion, understanding the challenges of the election period and so on. But I understand that Ministers will stay in their capacity and in their roles until after new Ministers or a new Cabinet has been elected and appointed, so I would still ask the Premier if this could be done still yet prior to that during the 17th Assembly?

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Does the chair of the standing committee have comments regarding the bill? Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. I’ll now turn to Members and ask if there are any general comments on the bill. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Ramsay.

Agreed. Thank you. I’ll ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses to the table.

Once again, for the record, Minister Ramsay, if you could please introduce your witnesses.

The Premier and the Minister previously have spoken about legal liabilities. Again, this project is not without its challenges and difficulties, but the government and Rowe’s agreed to a referee arbitrator. In the arbitrator’s report it says I believe Rowe’s is entitled to a part of all of the money still owing to them up to the amount of the funds available under the credit agreement. I mean, these are nonbinding decisions of the arbitrator but the government and Rowe’s came together to go choose somebody to look at this whole situation and now here we are today and we’re just talking about...

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. The motion is being distributed. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Does committee agree?

Agreed. Thank you. Bill 63 is now ready for third reading. Thank you, Minister Ramsay. I will turn the floor over to Minister Ramsay.
