Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Director Mathison.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Obviously a very important budget, the Department of Health. It’s the biggest budget we have, $391 million, just about $392 million.

I guess, in no particular order, some of my colleagues mentioned some of these issues, but obviously I want to mention them again.

Midwifery, obviously I’m pleased to see that in the budget for Hay River. I know we were talking about the implementation last year. I’m definitely looking for assistance in that area to help people be able to put Hay River, Northwest Territories, back on their birth certificates. It is definitely an issue I have...

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Next on my list is Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Next on my list I have Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Minister. I’ll now open the floor to general comments on the Department of Health. General comments. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize our resident Brad Mapes, owner of Wesclean, town councillor and a proponent for Aurora Pellets. I would also like to recognize a former resident of Hay River, Nicole Latour and her friend Michael Woodward, first time to the Ledge. Obviously, I’d like to recognize all the people from Fort Res on this exciting day, and also the people from forest management. I appreciate their hard work. Also, Tony Whitford and Mr. Ostler, obviously Jane’s brother. I’d like to welcome all of you to the House. Thank you.
