Thank you, Minister McLeod. Can we move on to detail, committee?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Are we done with general comments as opposed to general questions? We can move on to detail?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are addressed to the Premier and they relate to my statement about homelessness. I’m directing them to the Premier because the recommendations in the Falvo report reference more than one department and it is my belief that homelessness should be dealt with across many departments, not just one.

My first question to the Premier is: The Falvo report has five recommendations, four of them are to, well, not to the Executive, some are to Health and Social Services, there’s one to Housing Corp, there is certainly one to the government as a whole. I’d like to...

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Ms. Watters.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I think that was just a comment. Alright, committee, any further general comments on Municipal and Community Affairs? Mr. Nadli.

Alright, committee. If we would turn to page 2-2. The infrastructure investment summary page. We will defer this page until we have considered the whole department. Does committee agree that we will defer this page?

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Are you done, Mr. Bromley? Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to continue my crusade for better services from this government for residents struggling with homelessness and inadequate housing. In September, during the election and the campaign, there was a lot of talk around the issue. Candidates expressed support for an Anti-Poverty Strategy, for more housing and better housing programs. Now that the rubber has hit the road, so to speak, now that this new Assembly is in place, the new Executive is up and running, I have to ask this question: What will the 17th Assembly do to live up to the comments and commitments...

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Are there any other opening comments for the Department of Justice? Mr. Hawkins.
