Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Kam Lake, that the Committee Report 7-18(3): Standing Committee on Review of Bill 6: Cannabis Legalization and Regulation and Implementation Act, be received by the Assembly and moved into Committee of the Whole for consideration.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. This question was asked before. The numbers were a little bit different. Is there a rationale why it is at $344,000 instead of the number that was provided previously to the Chamber of Commerce, which was $266,000? Is there a reason for the difference in cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you. Just to clarify, that was May 31st. Correct?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are here today for the Standing Committee on Government Operations and the Standing Committee on Social Development report on the review of Bill 6, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation Implementation Act.

In April 2017, the federal government introduced two bills to legalize cannabis in Canada. Bill C-45 deals with federal licensing and oversight of the cannabis supply chain, including all production and distribution, and sets regulatory standards to protect public health and safety. Bill C-46 sets out offences and procedures relating to impaired driving...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I apologize for forgetting to recognize the Chair after I finished my statement. Is the department actually tracking how many people actually access these extra hours? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just like I said, I'm trying to understand. There's a carry-over here of $891,000, so maybe I'm not understanding it properly. I understand there is a contract in place. I know they're doing the work. I've been in there, and I noticed there was a delay there. I'm trying to understand: what's left to be done with this carry-over? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The company came forward and asked to get these extra two hours? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On May 1, 2018, I had the opportunity to visit the community of Sambaa K'e, and the topic of renovations to the school and a needed community gym was brought to my attention. I was advised that the community had a public meeting to discuss the design and outline of the school expansion with the Department of Education, Culture and Employment and the Department of Infrastructure. The band council raised the concern that the wastewater location would block the future expansion of the community gym. They were advised that the architects would come back with other options...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for that answer. I guess I'm just looking at some notes here, and it says it was all done. Can the Minister please clarify? The notes I have here says the project in Fort Liard was all done except for the fencing, but for the bathroom? Now, I'm hearing that the bathroom hasn't been completed. Can we get that verified? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the Minister for that suggestion, but they would like a little more detail. I guess I'll follow up with an email with the Minister of Infrastructure on this, and try to get a breakdown, but I thank the Minister for providing information here today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
