Agreed. We will resume with general comments on the whole budget. Oh, I’m sorry. Mr. Miltenberger would you like to bring the witnesses into the Chamber?

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. Beard.

Okay, understood, and if committee agrees with that process then, Mr. Hawkins, we will allow the Minister to respond to your question. Then I probably should have let the Minister respond to Mr. Blake immediately after his comments as well. Mr. Hawkins.

Detail. I will begin with detail. If you could turn to page 227 of the document, please. We will stand down until we have considered the information items in the activity detail. Moving on to page 231, Human Resources, directorate, operations expenditure summary, $4.504 million. Mr. Dolynny.

I would like to call Committee of the Whole to order. What is the wish of committee today? Ms. Bisaro.

Thank you, Ms. Desjardins. Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Mr. Blake. Next for general comments, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Minister Beaulieu. Ms. Desjardins.

Even if it was not a specified program or something that’s already structured. I’m just asking the Minister, would it not make sense to have people that are in remote northern communities who are enduring stress and mood disorders on a frequent basis where they are often in crisis, if they had a professional contact of someone they’d already developed a relationship with to be able to get counselling over the phone, because we know we’re not going to have them in person in our communities?

Thank you, Mr. Moses. Minister Beaulieu.
