My next question is the Minister was talking about the commitment of August. I am just wondering if the Minister will actually extend that to the next session period in September/October to make sure that the Regular Members have the opportunity over the summer to talk to their constituents and give that feedback in the September sitting. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Sergeant-at-Arms, would you please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you. Mr. Abernethy. Could I get you to please introduce your witnesses for the record?

Clauses 21 to 40.

---Clauses 21 through 40 inclusive approved

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In follow-up to my Member’s statement on fracking, as well I have questions for the Minister of ITI. The first question today is, I know the Minister has indicated they’re continuing to do some consultation with the public. Has the department changed any of its presentation? Have they started to include more information on actual hydraulic fracturing and what it does, what it is? Because that’s been one of the questions we’ve been getting from people and the concerns of if we’re getting the information out to people. Not just the regulations, but are we now presenting...

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. I will go to the chair of the Standing Committee on Social Programs, the committee that considered the bill, for opening comments. Mr. Moses.

Schedule C.

Bill 37 is now deemed ready for third reading. Does committee agree that we’ve concluded consideration of Bill 37 and the Committee Report 15-17(5)?
