Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Bill 6, An Act to Amend the Payroll Tax Act, 1993 and the Income Tax Act, and Committee Report 5-15(3), and would like to report that Committee Report 5-15(3) is concluded and that Bill 6 is ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Yakeleya.

We have a motion to report progress, but at the present time I don't recognize a quorum so I'll have to press our little button here, the bells, to get a quorum.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Ramsay.

Bill 6 is now ready for third reading. At this time, I would like to thank Mr. Roland and his staff for coming in for the presentation. We hope to see you again some time.

Does the committee agree that consideration of Committee Report 5-15(3) is also concluded?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Ramsay.

Bill as a whole.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member’s statement yesterday, I requested community freezers for Paulatuk and Holman for the 2004-05 season. I would like to take another shot at requesting this and will continue to, so we can resolve the problem. Mr. Speaker, given the recent response of the Minister of RWED towards the contract offered to the City of Yellowknife for $15,000 and the city turning down the offer, can Minister Brendan Bell take that $15,000 and put it towards the community freezers in Holman and Paulatuk? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
