Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind all our colleagues that this government would allow overspending on the North Slave Young Offenders Corrections Centre but, Mr. Speaker, we take no drastic actions to save legal aid. We’re going to allow it to grind into the ground. When will this government recognize and take their opportunities and waive those hands and say they need help? Because I’ll tell you, Mr. Speaker, this side of the Assembly will be there to help. We need them to lead by vision, show that they want to work with us because this side of the Assembly is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the honourable Minister of RWED. My question is with regard to a matter earlier brought up in the House regarding a 14-day maximum stay in our territorial parks. It has been brought to my attention that this policy has been updated, and I'm enquiring to the honourable Member if he would make that policy available for all Members of AOC when the update is completed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just my last comment, maybe if I could get a response and I'll leave this dead horse alone and quit beating it. I'll just proceed with a question. Is it anticipated that the FMBS, as in the Minister, will be consulting the national public service for any guidance or overview on possible examples of how we can implement this process? I know I'm a big advocate of this Public Service Commission. I've seen many other Members of AOC seem very interested in this and I would like to see that we get a nice, strong model as it proceeds forward with a draft. Does the...

Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. Minister. Is your department looking at the recommendations and possibly implementing the recommendations by that and, if I may further, does your department recognize the previous motion made by Mr. Dent, seconded by Mr. Roland? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. What type of time frame or timelines can this government expect to see by the amalgamation of this information and possibly proceeding in that direction? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. You squeaked in just before my time expired. Can I get the Minister to confirm that the incidental fee, be it large or small, is not accounted for by the Department of Finance, or I should say recognized in any way? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I may, at the discretion of the committee, expand a little further, my question now goes into who retains ownership of the returned and sometimes destroyed containers, be it can or bottle.

Thank you, Madam Chair. For the benefit of maybe all Members, I would be more than happy if he provided a hard copy while we have a discussion at this moment. If I or any other Member at the time is citing any concerns, we can perhaps ask to go back to page 3-20. So just to move forward, I would be happy to accept a hard copy at this time. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Basically I am trying to get an idea of what the breakdown is of that $632,000. Is that 90 percent fines or 90 percent licence fees? I just want to get an idea of what that composition is. I suspect it’s just two line items as you had mentioned yesterday. If you could give us a further breakdown on that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the honourable Minister would speak just in general at this time about some of the anticipated changes -- maybe not specifics if we're not in a position to do that -- if the honourable Minister could speak to the types of changes we should be expecting. I note that the committee that this may go to would probably be GED, and I would appreciate if it goes to all Members by a copy of the letter. Thank you.
