Thank you. I will turn to the chair of the standing committee that reviewed the bill for any opening comments. There are no opening comments I see from Mr. Testart, so I can open the floor to general comments on Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act. First, we have Mr. Vanthuyne.

Question 811-18(3): School Busing in Hay River
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 84)

As the Minister mentioned, she ordered the education councils to reduce their surpluses; basically, spend this money. I think the SSDEC had to reduce their surplus by about $2 million, but in none of that was any money for buses. So why wasn't there any money allocated for the busing services in Hay River in that $2-million reduction?
