Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, committee. I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order and ask what is the wish of committee. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you. For the record, we’re on Committee Report 2-15(5). Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister still didn’t answer the fundamental question here. That fundamental question is, why were Members of this side of the House not informed of the change in this project? Mr. Speaker, if I could, last year we were told that a key factor to relocating that program to Hay River was the fact that there was a facility there. That has changed. It’s fundamental; it’s simple to see, Mr. Speaker. Why were Regular Members not advised, Mr. Speaker? That’s what I’d like to know. Thank you.

Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

Thank you, committee. Does committee agree that consideration of Committee Report 1-15(5) is concluded?

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I see things as right and wrong, black and white. I don’t make generalizations. I read what’s given to me, I listen to what the Ministers tell me, and I make my mind up, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to just mention to the Minister, we weren’t consulted last year, we weren’t consulted this year, and I want to ask the Minister why Regular Members of this House were not consulted on the move to demolish Dene K’onia in Hay River. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.
