Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Ms. Gault.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. Mr. Daniels.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Premier as Minister responsible for the Executive. My questions to the Premier follow up on yesterday’s statement and questions regarding the need for common sense approaches to inconsistencies or even absurdities in program delivery.

The notion of an ombudsman has been raised frequently over the years, most recently yesterday. Many jurisdictions have established these positions as a court of higher appeal when horse sense doesn’t seem to prevail. Can the Premier tell me what knowledge he has of the consideration of creating an ombudsman...

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. It sounds like you are onto the next division. We’re sticking with advanced education. Aurora College questions are completely appropriate here, but if we are talking about schools explicitly, that would be the next section. I’ll let you clarify what we are asking about here. Thank you. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. What we’ll do is we’ll conclude page 5-4. Public Works and Services, activity summary, asset management, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $12.527 million.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Mr. Daniels.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I speak today on a key concern with the land and resources devolution agreement-in-principle, its development to date, and the essential steps that must guide the completion of this work.

As proposed, devolution means taking the exact same federal resource management and regulatory regime and moving it across the street as is. Yet Northerners have been clear that the federal regime is inadequate and unrepresentative. It is not based on principles of sustainable development and lacks a full set of socio-economic and environmental tools for integrated resource management...

Thank you, Minister. Welcome, Mr. Daniels. Committee, we have on page 8-2, the departmental summary and we’re going to defer that for Education, Culture and Employment until we’ve completed detail. So advanced education is pages 8-3 through 8-5 and we’ll look at the financial summary for this section, this division on page 8-4, Education, Culture and Employment. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. I gather that we have gone back to page 5-4. Let me just seek committee approval to return to page 5-4. Is committee agreed?
