Marsi cho, Mr. Speaker. I know, a lot of the House here, a lot of calls that we get are for hospitals, health and social services, medical travel. I have a couple questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services. With talks that we're going to the next phase here now, I know that we have a lot of medical travel requests and we have a lot of hospital visits. My first question for the Minister is: is there going to be talk of any policy changes in terms of visits, number of visitors you're allowed? One of the main questions I'm asking is for hospital visits for patients. Marsi cho.

Mahsi cho. I move that the chair rise and report progress.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I am still trying to wrap my head around this a little better. Are there other buildings around? When I hear base buildings, I hear, like, some extra adjacent buildings are going to be on that lot that are going to be built. Is that what I'm hearing? Thank you.

Mahsi. I'm just thinking, I have a quick question about the Stanton legacy building. They are split up into two different line items for just under $9.8 million and another one for just under $6.2 million. Why are they split up the way they are? It seems like they are both going towards the same building, but it's just south of $16 million. We are just going to sign off, and I would like to know a little bit more about it. Why were the numbers split up into the two items? Marsi cho.

Madam Chair, I move that consideration of Tabled Document 30-19(2), Main Estimates 2020-2021, is now concluded and that Tabled Document 30-19(2), be reported and recommended as ready for further consideration in a formal session through the form of an appropriation bill. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Madam Chair, I move that we rise and report progress.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. The committee wishes to consider Tabled Document 30-19(2) and, specifically, the Departments of Education, Culture and Employment and Industry, Tourism and Investment. Marsi cho, Madam Chair.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. I move that the Chair rise and report progress.

Marsi cho, Madam Chair. Just looking at a line item on page 286. I looked throughout the book. A lot of the other departments have computer and hardware and software, and then they seem to have budgets throughout. There is always some money there to maintain equipment and whatnot for computers. On this one here, from actuals a couple of years back, there was $94,000 allocated, and all of a sudden, it stopped. Is there a reason for that, Madam Chair?

Thank you, Madam Premier for that response. I'm just going back to the letter, too. There is a reference there that is a roadblock. It's not a roadblock. I said to the media before this is like a checkpoint. It's a self-isolation measure. Even though we have our security checkpoints at the borders, and I don't mean to point, sorry, they're still bypassing our four major centres where people are supposed to self-isolate. They're still getting into the small communities. These checkpoints in the small communities work. For my next question, just from hearing her: can Madam Premier commit to...
