Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. If I can get the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you. Mr. Beaulieu, if you care to identify and introduce your witnesses to the Chamber, please.

Does committee agree that consideration of the Department of Justice is complete?

Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. Minister Beaulieu.

Welcome back, committee. We are in 2013-14 Capital Estimates. We are currently on page 6-4, Health and Social Services, activity summary, health services programs, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $31.181 million. Mr. Bromley.

Does committee have any questions?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Mr. Elkin.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Is committee agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Ms. Schofield, Ms. Haener, welcome to the Chamber. Again, committee, we are deferring page 7-2 and I can turn your attention to page 7-6, Justice, activity summary, court services, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $334,000.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Moving on with questioning, I have the Member for Hay River North, Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do concur with the Minister that it’s something that we have to learn, but the behaviour has to be changed and we have to enforce that. It is our job as a government. I am pleased to see that the Minister has indicated that he will be bringing this forward for a review.

Could the Minister also offer this House his plan to address the low number of these convictions under this distracted driving legislation and provide a meaningful strategy to reduce improper road user behaviour?
