Thank you, Minister Lafferty. Before we continue on with questions, committee, I just want to caution both the Members as well as the witnesses here, we are only getting about two or three questions in a 10-minute block. I will give lots of latitude to make sure that we cover this activity efficiently and effectively, but I would ask that we try to get a little bit more of the preamble down and more of the questions to the activities themselves. I am asking for your cooperation. In order I have Mr. Yakeleya and Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. I will take that as a final comment. Moving on with questions on 5-36, I have Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. For that response, we will go to Deputy Minister Eggenhofer.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger.

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order. We have a number of items to consider today. We have Bill 5, Bill 10, Bill 11, Tabled Document 4-17(4), Tabled Document 22-17(5). What is the wish of committee today? Ms. Bisaro.

Welcome back, committee. We’re going to commence with the Department of Education. With that, we’ll turn it over to the Minister for opening comments. Mr. Lafferty.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Bromley, I put you back on the list, as you indicated. Just to give Members an idea, we have Ms. Bisaro, Mr. Yakeleya and Mr. Moses in the order. We will go to Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sometimes in this role we become quite critical in design. Unfortunately, that’s part of our role as legislators and part of our role in going through budget as we are doing before the House.

It’s also an opportunity, and I’ve said this many times, when I see something that’s going well, I pay credence to that as well. This is one of those areas. I believe there has been significant improvement, and we’ve echoed that in the tabling of the public accounts. I really want to echo the fact that this was a lot of work to change a mindset of trying to get numbers, analysis of...

Thank you, Ms. Eggenhofer. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. To the motion. Minister Lafferty.
