Can I call the meeting back to order here? Thank you. In regard to Mr. Braden’s guidance, I have been told that special warrants cannot be deleted. In effect, they are information items. Amounts for items not previously authorized may be deleted. However, a motion to amend the bill would be required in that instance. Thank you. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. I didn’t hear any question. Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, is this going to be a concern? As I say, I can pretty well guarantee that Tuk will probably be one of the biggest traffic volumes. With past experience, as I said earlier, Madam Chair, they were flying seven days a week and landing in Tuktoyaktuk and flying out of there, totally bypassing Yellowknife and Inuvik in some cases. So again, how will the department, Madam Chair, ensure that we're talking about security, ensure that that's going to be in place if they're going to completely bypass Yellowknife in that regard? Thank you.

Can the Sergeant-at-Arms please bring in the witness?

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dent. Would you like to introduce your witness for the record please? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. McLeod.

Good afternoon. We’ll resume our Committee of the Whole meeting again now. At the present time we would like to ask the Minister if he would like to introduce any witnesses.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Bill 13. Does the committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. McLeod.
