Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Deputy Minister Meade.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Committee, we started on page 8-17. I find that we’re still there. Activity summary, program delivery support, operations expenditure summary, $31.936 million. Does committee agree?

I assume, from that response, that the Minister doesn’t know and so everybody is not in fact in the know about what’s happening on energy issues. Perhaps again the Climate Change Committee within the first year of our Assembly looked up the Green Procurement Plan for the government and found that it was a couple of paragraphs that said nothing. We agreed there was a real need for a tune-up. Is the lead Minister on energy aware of what’s happening on that front and what role is he playing to ensure that’s done?

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The motion is being distributed. Next I will call for those who wish to speak to the motion. Mr. Krutko, would you like to speak to the motion?

Page 8-26, activity summary, supplementary health programs, grants and contributions, contributions $12.603 million. Agreed?

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. I will turn to deputy minister Meade for that response.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Lee.

I started mentioning the consultants that I had talked to about energy issues. They mentioned that they had read my statement to the House on Monday and again went off on why the alternative technologies were not possible and feasible and so on, no role for research and that. Again that underlines to me the need to be clear when we are speaking about these issues, that we hear the words that are being spoken, realize that I am not speaking in the House... I don’t speak much, if at all, about alternative technologies. I speak about what is actually viable and proven. These are real...

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I did not hear a question there but, Minister Lee.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Ms. Lee.
