Thank you, committee. Page 274, office of the regulator of oil and gas operations, active positions, information item. Any questions?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister’s reply on that. As we’ve been told, we’re waiting for an expression of interest from a number of proponents. We are not sure whether or not there will be a sure list of candidates or candidates at all.

Does the Minister have a plan of action should there be no succession planning in finding a proponent? Is the department prepared to take this initiative as a program themselves? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Committee, we’re on page 305, legal aid services, operations expenditure summary, $6.303 million. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Minister Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Blake. I didn’t hear a question and we’ll get to that detail. General comments, committee. Is committee prepared to go into detail?

Thank you, committee. Page 317, Justice, lease commitments, information item. Any questions?

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Ramsay.

I’m not sure if I got a response to that question. We are right now in a position of a holding pattern. We’re waiting for proponents to come forward. We’re looking at expressions of interest and it has been clearly documented that this government has an opportunity to review, during its so-called quiet period, those issues of liability, maybe better guidelines or framework of action or, in essence, a better framework in place so that when we do have proponents in place they can be operating at efficiency.

Can the Minister indicate, has work been done to look at guidelines, look at framework...

Thank you, committee. Page 305, legal aid services, operations expenditure summary, $6.303 million. Does committee agree? Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Minister Ramsay.
