Does the committee agree that the Minister brings in his witnesses?

I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order. Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bill 10 and Bill 13. What’s the wish of the committee? Mrs. Groenewegen.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. I would like to call on the standing committee that reviewed the bill if they wish to make any comments. At this time I will call Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I seek unanimous consent to deal with the motion I gave notice of earlier today.

Unanimous consent granted.

Bill 10 is now ready for third reading.

I would like to thank the Minister and witnesses. Sergeant-at-Arms, could you escort the witnesses out.

Moving on to Bill 13, An Act to Amend the Legal Profession Act.

Mr. Speaker, in response to an earlier question, the Premier mentioned that he did contact a few aboriginal leaders. I am wondering when he is going to contact all aboriginal leaders and, more importantly, have a briefing with Members on this side of the House so we can get an understanding of what’s in the proposal, what is being stated, so we will get a commitment from the Premier on when this will take place.

Going back to page 1, the bill as a whole?

Bill 10 as a whole approved.

Mr. Speaker, I’d like to ask the Premier: exactly what is the price tag on this proposal, and what are we are talking about? Are we talking about a billion dollars or more? I think the number for the Mackenzie highway is somewhere in the range of $6 billion. What is the price tag on this proposal?

Thank you, Minister. Welcome, witnesses. General comments in regard to Bill 10. What is the wish of the committee? Details? Committee agreed?

Mr. Speaker, the committee has been considering Bill 10, An Act to Amend the Pharmacy Act, and Bill 13, An Act to Amend the Legal Profession Act, and would like to report progress in that Bills 10 and 13 are ready for third reading.

Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of the Committee of the Whole be concurred with.
