Yes, Mr. Bromley. We’re on page 11-8, page 11-9 and page 11-10.

Sergeant-at-Arms, if I could please get you to escort the witnesses from the Chamber.

The next item on our agenda is Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Tourism Act. Is committee agreed that we move on to Bill 9?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to recognize Mark Bogan, a constituent of the Great Slave riding.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Next on my list is Mr. Ramsay.

Okay. We will defer the title and go straight to the individual clauses. Clause 1.

---Clauses 1 through 5 inclusive approved

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. Mr. Miltenberger.

Does committee agree that Bill 8, Social Work Profession Act, is now ready for third reading?

---Bill 8 as a whole approved for third reading

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Over the last couple of weeks there has been a lot of talk about this draft agreement-in-principle which the government is currently considering.

Devolution and resource revenue sharing were important topics during the 2007 campaign. I heard many people from across the NWT. They were saying that it needs to be done and that it needs to be done now, that a deal must be struck.

So here we are; a potential deal is at hand. If this AIP is signed, we as a government and as a people will be able to take an important next step and begin the process of negotiating a final deal...

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Minister. I have no other Members on my list. Is committee agreed that there are no further general comments?
