Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. A motion is on the floor and is being circulated. Mr. Minister, if I could get you to thank your witnesses, we’ll get the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort them out so that they don’t have to sit in the bottle of water. Thank you.

The motion has been circulated. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Minister Lee.

Thank you, Mrs. Groenewegen. A motion is on the floor. The motion is being distributed. Patience. Patience. I’m going to wait until Ms. Bisaro gets her copy this time. Thank you, committee. A motion is on the floor. The motion has been distributed. To the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree with everything that the Member is saying. We have to look at the system as a whole. I think that’s where I started my whole statement from. What I’m suggesting now is that it’s important when you’re looking at the NP and IAP as one program that you don’t think of them just as one program. They are two different programs and they need to be considered that way. Ultimately I support the Nurse Practitioner Program and don’t want to see it go anywhere. My question to the Minister was: will she look at the IAP as part of the whole, but also as an independent...

Ms. Lee, if I could get you to please thank your staff and, Sergeant-at-Arms, if could please get you to escort the witnesses out of the Chamber.

Next step is to go to the Department of Justice. Once the witnesses have left the chamber I’ll go to the Minister for some opening remarks. Mr. Lafferty.

Does committee agree that we’ve concluded the Department of Finance?

Is committee agreed that we’ve concluded consideration of Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 3, 2010-2011?
