Thank you, Mr. Braden. Minister Bell.

Clause 5.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, from what I’ve heard from constituents of mine and from others is that it’s an actual disaster, the human resource service centre today, and people are having a heck of a time trying to get any service. I want to ask the Minister why it should take my constituent 13 attempts to contact FMBS to set up a simple meeting to go over their paperwork so they can retire with the dignity that they deserve. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you. Bill 6 is now ready for third reading. Thank you, committee. As agreed, we will proceed now to Bill 10. That is An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act. I will go to Minister Roland for opening comments. Minister Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Minister.

Clause 3.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to welcome Mr. Todd Parsons, President of the UNW, and with him Ms. Gayla Wick, to the gallery today. Thank you.
