Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Committee, I’ll just remind you, we’re going to go through all the general comments and then have the Minister speak. Next on my list I have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you. I’ll ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. I’ll ask you to introduce your witnesses, please.

Thank you, committee. We left off with the Department of Health. Minister, do you have witnesses to bring into the House?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s an exciting day for the forest industry in the Northwest Territories. Later this afternoon our government will be signing an MOU with Fort Res. We hope that this will be the start of well needed jobs in the South Slave area and economic opportunities. A lot of hard work has been done by the Fort Res band and the Metis. Good job.

A great deal of work has been done also by our forest management division, who should be commended for all of this hard work.

It is a great opportunity to see there’s a forest industry back in Fort Res and in the South Slave. We are excited...

Is committee agreed the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations is complete?
