Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In recognition of our theme day on seniors, I would like to highlight the work done by the NWT Seniors’ Society.

This non-profit organization established in 1983 is the only volunteer agency representing the interests of all seniors in the Northwest Territories and a resource for any of our residents aged 60 and over. Its mission is to ensure dignity, independence, participation, fairness and security for our elders within our communities. The society’s goals include effectively dealing with elder abuse, promoting healthy lifestyles, involving elders in the preservation...

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Minister Miltenberger, would you like to bring witnesses into the Chamber?

Okay, let’s turn to Schedule B, which starts on page 5. Any questions?

Bill as a whole.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. I will now open the floor to general comments on Bill 18. Does committee agree that there are no comments on Bill 18 at this time?

All right. I’ll now ask the Minister responsible for the bill, the Honourable Michael Miltenberger, Minister of Finance, to introduce the bill. Mr. Miltenberger.

Can we proceed with the clause-by-clause review of Bill 19? Agreed?

Okay. We’ll proceed with clause by clause on Bill 14. We’ll defer the title page and go to the detail. Is committee agreed?
