Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Michael McLeod.

Thank you, Minister. Does the committee agree?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. The committee has agreed that we will deal first with Supplementary Appropriation No. 1 (Infrastructure Expenditures) 2009-2010. I’d like to ask, first, if the Minister has opening comments. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. I didn’t detect a question there. Committee, once again, highways, not previously authorized, $6 million. Mr. Krutko.

Finally, page 7, Transportation, capital investment expenditures, highways, not previously authorized, $6 million. Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, committee. Bill 5 is now deemed ready for third reading.

---Bill 5 as a whole approved for third reading

Thank you, Minister and your witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses from the Chamber. Thank you.

Committee, we have agreed to consider Bill 9, Northern Employee Benefits Services Pension Plan Protection Act. I will ask Minister Miltenberger, responsible for Bill 9, to introduce the bill.

Very good. Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Does the committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Michael McLeod. Anything further, Mr. Krutko?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Recognizing that fuel emissions are a primary source of greenhouse gases and climate change is a problem for us, and recognizing that there is little significant effort right now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, will the Minister of Transportation commit to adopting California fuel emission standards for the Northwest Territories? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister McLeod.
