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

I thank the Minister for all those comments. I agree wholeheartedly. I think this is an important area to work on. The responses were more conceptual, they were bigger picture, and I’m kind of wondering more about the specific actions that are taking place to help us facilitate aging in place. I know that we need more home care support and we do have a great program here in Yellowknife, but what is the plan? How are we actually going to facilitate getting home care workers, whether it’s a home care nurse or a home support worker, into those communities?

I do have a suggestion for the Minister...

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. On that, I will open the floor for general comments on Bill 17. Does the committee agree that there are no comments on Bill 17?

Agreed. Bill 19, the Municipal Statutes Amendment Act.

I’ll now ask the Minister responsible for the bill, the Honourable R.C. McLeod, Minister of MACA, to introduce the bill. Mr. McLeod.

Bill 18, An Act to Repeal the Settlements Act.
