Page 2, amendments to the Payroll Tax Act, 1993.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. General comments. What is the wish of the committee?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Yakeleya.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks for the answer, Mr. Minister. Once again, it has been very clear from Paulatuk that the community freezers that they presently have are very important to them. When I was in Paulatuk we did discuss about the chest freezers, as you mentioned, but at the present time they find the community freezer a vital component of their daily lives. It is important for them to utilize a facility like that. Once again, could the Minister at least guarantee funds for this season for them to continue using that community freezer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
