Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Abernethy.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Abernethy.

Could the Minister, after the research he did for my colleagues, confirm that the wait time for Hay River is less than two weeks to take a test?

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Abernethy.

I’m not sure that was an invitation, but okay. Any further questions on this page? Okay. Public Works and Services, activity summary, asset management, infrastructure investment summary, total infrastructure investment summary, $19.2 million. Agreed?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to talk today a little bit on one of my favourite topics: decentralization.

We’ve been talking about this a lot and I’d like to thank the Premier and Minister Ramsay, who recently took the time to meet with a delegation from Hay River, including MLA Bouchard, myself, the then-acting mayor and representative from the Chamber of Commerce, and the town SAO who came up to Yellowknife and discussed several issues, but one of them, and one of the very important ones, of course, was decentralization.

I don’t need to tell people I’ve been around this place a long time...

Agreed. Thank you. No questions? Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. Next I have Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you. I’d like to ask the Sergeant-at-Arms if he would please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Minister Abernethy, for the record, could you please introduce your witness?

Thank you. Further questions on page 5-4, Mr. Bromley.
