Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to thank all those people who put all the hard work in the years before us. I would like to thank all the Members that are in the EDI committee and all the Regular Members that sat in and were involved. It was a great pleasure to travel around the North, getting feedback from the public.

This being probably one of the biggest acts that I’ve been involved with in my short period as an MLA, it is very difficult. You are being pulled from one direction to another. You tweak one of the sections and then another group would be involved, either an organization or...

Thank you. The Minister seems to be leading right into all of my questions here. He’s answering the first one mentioned the tri-drive program and that they’re experimenting with that for two years. I’m just wondering if there has been a lot of uptake and if he has any initial indications of how the program is working and any feedback that we’re getting from the tri-drive experimental project.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions for the Minister of Transportation today. In the springtime I was asking him questions about the transportation and trucking industry and some of the differences that we have in jurisdictions. He’d indicated to me that they were in the process of doing a review. I’m just wondering: Where is that review of those regulations in comparison to other jurisdictions currently?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s good to be back. I’m happy to report that I’m feeling much better and some people are even saying I’m looking better.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my friends and family for the support the last couple of weeks. I feel rich for the support I received over these last two weeks. Mr. Speaker, I’d also like to thank you and Members here, as well as the Legislative Assembly staff and obviously my constituents for all the support during the last couple of weeks feeling under the weather. I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks of session...
