Thanks, Madam Chair. I know I was trying to listen to the Minister's opening remarks. How much of this increase in policing services is actually kind of a result of collective agreement requirements? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. Committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 81319(2), 20232024 Main Estimates, with Department of Justice. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

I'm trying to do triple duty. Okay. I just had one or two questions about the M.M. DeWeerdt Public Legal Resource Centre. This used to be the court library. We know this was a problem in the last Assembly. We're the only place in Canada that doesn't have a court library. What is this centre now and is it actually open to the public? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. I want to thank the Minister for the response. Yeah, I actually tabled that information earlier this week in the stuff that I obtained access to information. But, you know, people shouldn't have to buy a prospecting license to be able to participate in targeted engagement.

Ironically the first item in the "what we heard" report from those secret meetings sorry, from the targeted engagement/secret meetings with the mining industry is called transparency and confidentiality. It appears that all ITI is going to do in terms of transparency is to separate resource...

Okay, no, thanks for that. Maybe I could just ask if the Minister could provide some details on the communications planning, at least to the MLAs that have correctional facilities in their ridings. I think that would be helpful for Members to get. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Merci, Monsieur le President. My questions are for a different Minister, the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. There are only two written submissions to the fivemonth long public and targeted engagement on mining royalties and 11 other online submissions.

Can the Minister tell us more about these online submissions and provide a list of who made them? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Merci, Madam la Presidente. I move that this committee defer further consideration of the estimates for the Department of Justice at this time. Mahsi, Madam Chair.

I trust this Minister so that's great. Look, thank you for that. And I trust most of the other Ministers; I love them all. But more seriously, there were to be these advisory committees set up for each of the correctional facilities, and I just wonder where we're at with those committees? Thanks, Madam Chair.

No, thanks for that. And, yeah, for anyone who's listening or reads this, I really encourage them to look at the return on social investment study that was done. There's come great quotes in there from clients that have been assisted and turned their lives around and so on. And I guess it'll be one more matter for the transition report. Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks. So what budget line here reflects that additional funding in you know, that the staffing levels are flat? So did someone else another position was cut or something to make way for this new office; what happened? Thanks, Madam Chair.
