Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Next on my list is Mr. Hawkins.

I’ll try to be a little bit more specific. I’m talking primarily about the psychiatric unit. In November last year a young lady was released on a weekend pass and she disappeared over the weekend and nobody has seen her since. In the last couple of weeks we’ve heard a number of reports of patients from the psychiatric unit coming and going almost as they please. I’m wondering what it takes for us to get in there and review the policies, protocols and procedures of that unit so that we can ensure that when people do leave, that we know they’re coming back, or that there’s some requirement for...

Thank you, Minister McLeod. I’d now like to ask the chairperson for the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure, which reviewed this bill, to make the comments. Mr. Ramsay.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Next on my list is Mr. Bromley.

My apologies, each Member only gets to speak once to the motion, except for the mover of the motion. She’s already done it twice. She was mover of the motion. Everybody gets to speak once, except for the mover of the motion. She closed debate so we’re theoretically done. Because we went to Ms. Bisaro, that would have been closing the debate on that. I’m going to confirm that that’s correct. Okay, it was my error. Anybody who has not spoken who wishes to speak can be put on the list. Otherwise, the debate is concluded. Anybody who hasn’t spoken who wishes to speak. Mrs. Groenewegen.

Does committee agree that Bill 19, the Municipal Statutes Amendment Act is now ready for third reading?

---Bill 19 as a whole approved for third reading

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the Minister might be missing the point I’m trying to make here. I agree with everything she’s saying. I think our Home Care Program is fantastic. I’m glad it’s rolling out to the other communities. I’m talking about getting the people in those communities trained to do the jobs, trained to do the home support worker programs. I don’t actually see... If it exists, I’d like her to show me where our current home support worker training exists. That’s what I’m asking. I support everything the Minister is doing, but where’s the training program? When can we see a...

Okay. We will defer the title and the bill number and go clause by clause. Clause 1.

---Clauses 1 through 13 inclusive approved

Bill 20, An Act to Amend the Evidence Act as amended.

Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. McLeod, would you like to bring witnesses into the House?
