We will now move to Bill 17, Northwest Territories Intergovernmental Resources Revenue Sharing Agreement Act. Premier McLeod, do you have opening comments?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Fulford. Sorry, Mr. Druyan.

Thank you, Mr. Goldney. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Committee, we’re taking general comments on Bill 4. Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister of Transportation talked about on-line services today. I appreciate the department’s hard work in that area.

One of the areas that I see this being a benefit…and I think I’ve talked about the trucking industry in the Northwest Territories before and some of the issues plaguing them. One of the issues that have come up recently is the on-line 24-hour service for permitting wide loads and heavy loads currently being done by a southern company. I don’t quite understand why we have a southern company doing some of this service, but I’ll be asking the Minister...

Clauses 71 to 80.

---Clauses 71 through 80 inclusive approved

Bill as a whole?

Thank you, Minister. Thank you, witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses out of the Chamber. Thank you.

What is the wish of committee? Ms. Bisaro.

Is committee ready to go to detail? Oh, Mr. Bromley. Sorry. Go ahead, Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Premier McLeod.
