Mr. Speaker, your committee has been considering Bill 7, Community Planning and Development Act, and Bill 19, Cost of Credit Disclosure Act, and would like to report progress with one motion being adopted, and that Bill 19 is ready for third reading, and that Bill 7 is ready for third reading. Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister McLeod.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. We’ll now go to the chairman of the standing committee responsible that reviewed the bill to make committee comments. Mr. Ramsay.

Let’s find a way to support our residents and find a way to help them in their homes and their communities. I know it’s the dying days of this Assembly, however, the current Minister of Health and Social Services will continue to be the Minister of Health and Social Services until October. As such, later today I will be asking him to direct his department to do some research and provide some options for consideration by all Members of the 17th Legislative Assembly early in the life of the next Assembly.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. To the motion.
