I'd also [Translation] I'd like to say welcome to all the students from the Allain St-Cyr School and all the teachers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. [Translation ends]

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So there's nothing in the capital budget then about the resource centre that's supposed to replace the law library? There's nothing in the capital budget for Justice to do that transition? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Merci, Mr. Speaker. Earlier today, I spoke with some developments on 911 services and a decision by Cabinet to further delay real progress. The Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs checked into the Anderson v. Bell court decision as a possible avenue for funding and found a dead end. Can the Minister tell this House what specific inquiries were made and the results? Merci, Mr. Speaker.
Sorry, Mr. Speaker, I request that we vote. Thank you.
