Thank you, Minister. Welcome, ladies, to the House. I’m assuming we’ll go into detail. Committee, agreed?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Aumond.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, it sounds like we’re going to have to do another ATIPP request, and thank God I’ve been collecting bottles all summer because this seems to be the pattern of activity here for Regular Members.

I guess we’ve heard from the Minister that he’s going to go back and talk to a defunct board that no longer exists, to ask permission to table something that is in the ownership of the department.

Again, will the Minister commit to tabling this for everybody to see what was the action plan of the Nats’ejee K’eh and how unsafe, really, was it?

Thank you, committee. I’d like to thank the witnesses. If I could get the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses. The next area, committee, we’re going to be looking at is Human Resources, so if you can turn your attention to section 2-2 in your capital estimates binder. With that, we will go to the Minister for opening comments.

Mr. Speaker, I can assure you that there was a business plan that was produced. We know because committee on this side of the House has received this plan. It’s a very detailed plan, a very good plan, as far as I’m concerned.

The question that we’re hearing is that we’ve got parts of the plan, yet we were given a full plan, so it doesn’t quite make sense.

My question, with respect to this plan, if there was this plan given as a result, as I indicated that we did receive on this side of the House, why was the funding still cut? What was wrong with this plan?

Agreed. If I can get committee to turn to page 3-2 for the department summary. Finance, department summary, infrastructure investment summary, information technology projects, $450,000. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is very rare nowadays to meet someone who leaves an imprint in your life that made them unforgettable, a mark larger than life, an imprint that made you yearn to be a better person.

Mr. Speaker, our community lost one of our beloved, long-time sport volunteers and humanitarians recently to cancer. He was a very special man, a man who touched my life and many others in ways that I was never able to share until today. I know he’s looking down on us; so, Mr. Chris Bergman, I want to thank you and let you know you will be missed.

Long before I knew Chris Bergman, he was a...

Committee, section 3-2 is a deferral, so if I can get you to turn now to section 3-4. Finance, activity summary, office of the comptroller general, infrastructure investment summary. Any questions?

Can I get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort our witnesses out. Thank you for joining us today. Ms. Bisaro.
