Thank you, Madam Bisaro. I’ll call on the Minister for a brief response, then I think you said there was a statement, but I think the Minister wants to make a statement. Thank you. Mr. Abernethy.

Does committee agree that Bill 55, Mental Health Act, is now ready for third reading?

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Minister Abernethy.

Well defer the title until consideration of clauses. Clauses 1 to 20.

---Clauses 1 through 110 inclusive approved

Thank you, Minister. Sergeant-at-Arms, please escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Committee, we’re on general comments for Bill 65. If committee is agreed there are no further comments, we’ll go clause-by-clause review of the bill.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. I will go to the chair responsible for Social Programs, the committee that considered the bill, Mr. Moses.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Next I have Mr. Nadli

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like I indicated, it seems like we’re trying to find ways to support southern businesses. We need to find, and my question is, how can a company provide 51 percent labour welding services and still not be BIP’d. Why is that BIP being delayed? Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. Next I have Mr. Hawkins.
