Okay. Thank you. Does committee agree?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Not to the substance of the budget dialogue but to the process, I would like to say that I applaud the Minister for his efforts to consult with people in the communities. It is always a debate, to dialogue or not to dialogue, to consult or not to consult, because we don’t have any way of realistically predicting how many people, how many constituents, how many people in the communities will actually be interested in taking the time to come out and speak with the government. Perhaps there could be some tweaking or adjusting done in terms of the timing of the consultation...

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. We’ll go on to two other Members before we turn the floor over to Minister McLeod to respond. Next on the list I have Mr. Bouchard.

Thank you, Minister McLeod. Mr. Stewart.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Ms. Desjardins. I’m sorry; I can’t understand. Minister Beaulieu.

Agreed. I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses to the table.

Minister Beaulieu, for the record, could you please introduce your witnesses again today. Thank you.

Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. Deputy Minister Desjardins.

I will call Committee of the Whole back to order. I would like to ask Minister Beaulieu if he would like to bring witnesses into the Chamber. Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Mr. Beaulieu.
