Sergeant-at-Arms, would you please bring the witnesses into the Chamber?

Mr. Bouchard, if you would introduce the witnesses to the Chamber, please.

Does committee agree that Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act, No. 2, is ready for third reading?

---Bill 12 as a whole approved for third reading

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Members know, in June the Minister of Health and Social Services tabled the department’s Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan. With the mention of enhancing addictions treatment programs an element in the priorities of the 17th Assembly, it’s good to have the Mental Health and Addictions Action Plan lining up with those priorities. But today I must follow up on the subject of the questions I asked the Minister last week about the Minister’s Forum on Addictions.

Don’t get me wrong; I am not one to suggest that consultation is a bad thing. It is a good thing. But...

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Mr. Bouchard, would you like to bring witnesses into the Chamber?

We’ll return to the previous page, Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act, No. 2.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that Bill 13, An Act to Repeal the Credit Union Act is now ready for third reading?

---Bill 13 as a whole approved for third reading

Mr. Abernethy, would you introduce your witness for us, please?

Okay. Committee, we will defer the title page of the bill. We’ll move to page 1, clause 1.

---Clauses 1 through 3 inclusive approved

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Is committee agreed?

Your committee has been considering Bill 12, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act, No. 2; Bill 13, An Act to Repeal the Credit Union Act; and Bill 15, An Act to Amend the Human Rights Act, No. 3, and would like to report progress and that Bills 12, 13 and 15 are ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
