Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. For that we will go to Ms. Magrum.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Committee, we are on page 13-17, Environment and Natural Resources, activity summary, environment, operations expenditure summary, $6.968 million. Does committee agree?

Mr. Speaker, again, I know the Minister has been courteous enough to come to committee and talk about some of this fiscal strategy. We would hope that the Member or the Minister would be able to do so with the public so they can also see what the strategy is all about.

I am still very confused. We are starting with an odometer riding on our budget or Visa baseline of $621 million. We have only $800 million to spend. We talked about all of these competing priorities. How is it, again specifically, are we going to move forward these large-scale infrastructures in the very near future?

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. It appears we’ve exhausted the first round of questioning. We’ll go back to Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Page 13-10, Environment and Natural Resources, information item, active position summary. Any questions?

Question has been called. Motion is carried.

Committee, we are on page 13-17, Environment and Natural Resources, activity summary. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once again, we are seeing a budget go wistfully by and, yet again, our potential territorial hospital has been bypassed. Let me say those words again, Mr. Speaker, territorial hospital.

We continually hear by this government that we have competing priorities, that roads are more important than territorial health and that an office building is more important than territorial health. Yet this government continues down a path of priorities where economics and practical sense collide.

A recent visit by the majority of Regular Members to our territorial hospital showed...

Thank you, Mr. Campbell. Mr. Bromley, your time is up. I am just going to let questions come around the first round and I will come back to you. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, committee. Moving on to 13-10, Environment and Natural Resources, information item, active position summary. Any questions? Mr. Blake.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. To the motion. We’re going to go to the mover for closing comments. Mr. Bromley.
