Thank you, Premier Handley. Thank you. Next on the list I have Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Braden. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, then in keeping with other commitments that I’ve had issues and concerns raised to me about, that I have been in the presence of the Minister on visits to Hay River, which I thank him for, but there was an outstanding issue with respect to wage parity for the workers in health and social services in Hay River who are not UNW employees and have a separate collective bargaining union. I was wondering if the Minister could confirm for the House that this commitment has been delivered upon. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Premier Handley. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for Mr. Miltenberger, the Minister of Health and Social Services. I have a number of outstanding issues with respect to commitments that have been made regarding delivery of Health and Social Services programs in Hay River. I’m going to try and cover them off within one set of questions. Mr. Speaker, there has been a plan for some time now to do some fairly significant renovations to the Hay River hospital which houses a lot of the Health and Social Services programs. There was information that had somehow ended up at a staff meeting...

Thank you. Anything further, Mr. Menicoche? Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Premier Handley. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Next on the list I have Mr. Menicoche, Mr. Ramsay, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Menicoche is next.

I am going to call Committee of the Whole back to order. The first Minister’s statement that we are going to look at today is Minister's Statement 70-15(3), Report on Ottawa Meetings, that was given by the Premier today. Are they any general comments? Thank you, Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Next on the list I have Mr. Braden.
