Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Beaulieu.

Thank you, Minister. I appreciate that. Mr. Blake.

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

Mr. Beaulieu, could you introduce your witnesses for us, please?

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Minister Lafferty.

I will now rise and report progress

Thank you, committee. Thank you to the Minister. Thank you to your witness. If the Sergeant-at-Arms would escort the witness from the Chamber.

We will move on to the Department of Health and Social Services. It is section 6 in your document. Minister, do you have witnesses you would like to bring into the Chamber? Mr. Beaulieu.

Just one last comment. I have to disagree with the Minister that we’re not talking about infrastructure, future buildings. We’re talking about the building of buildings and within the design of those buildings that we allocate space for the arts. What that space happens to be can be covered in a policy. I don’t see this as giving money to an arts group for them to run programs. This is providing physical space for them to either display their works or run programs or whatever. I do think that it fits within capital. Thank you. No question there.

Thank you, committee. Are we agreed we have concluded the Department of Health and Social Services?

Thank you. Anything further from Members? Any questions on this page, 2-4? Mr. Bromley.
