Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the commitment from the Minister to meet with the Law Society and the Law Foundation about the court library and its future.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I think there was a story in the paper, I don't even know what day of the week it is anymore, yesterday about -- is this the -- what do they call it?

Thanks, Mr. Chair. So as I understand it there's no change in staffing for this office, but I see that there's a change in compensation and benefits, a fairly substantial reduction. What's going on here? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. I guess I just want to add my voice to my colleague about phasing in of rates or fees rather than trying to do it all at once. I think that it will have greater public acceptance. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
