Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Minister’s answer there and I appreciate the concept, but how much of a priority is it to assist the authority in promotion of the community itself and to get a doctor in place? I understand the concept of a central unit, but obviously in this House we have concerns about decentralization and we want to see that in the communities.

How much is the department pushing the recruitment of doctors in the communities versus a centralized doctor pool?

Mr. Bromley.

Page 8, Environment and Natural Resources, operations expenditures, forest management, special warrants, $13.894 million. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, committee. I’ll ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to escort the witnesses into the Chamber.

Could the Minister please introduce the witnesses?

Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 134-17(4), Supplementary Estimates (Infrastructure Expenditures), No. 3, 2013-2014?

Page 6, Public Works and Services, operations expenditures, asset management, not previously authorized, negative $546,000. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Minister Abernethy. I will open up the floor for general comments on Bill 17, An Act to Amend the Protection Against Family Violence Act. There are no general comments. Clause-by-clause review?

Clause 2. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you. I appreciate the Minister’s answer there. The Minister talked about the new facility. Do we have to wait for that facility to get that kind of feedback from the general public? We’re looking for some sort of feedback that the public can give on the current operations in the current facility, as well, and what kind of timeline we’re looking at in order for implementation of that type of an advisory board.
