Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate hearing that, and I am glad to hear that it is imminent.

Mr. Speaker, are there any other milestones that the college has coming up in the near future that the public should keep their eye out for? And, certainly, I will keep my eye out for it.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to ask the Minister of ECE on this last day, I am curious to know where things are at with Aurora College. It's always something I want to find out about during sessions. So I am curious to know where we're at with the implementation of the mandate agreement. Is that agreement being reported on anywhere publicly? How is the public to know where Aurora College is at in their progress? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the late 1800s, society and politics were significantly different from how they are today. It would be decades until women won the right to vote and serve in politics, and the first feminist thinkers and writers were planting the seeds of thought which would grow into a transformative global movement.

In 1893, Matilda Joslyn Gage shared a bold and prophetic vision. She wrote that during the ages no rebellion has been of like importance with that of women against the tyranny of church and state. None has had as far-reaching effects. We note its beginning...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We didn't quite get to a commitment there. But I will just say, Mr. Speaker, that I strongly encourage the Minister to establish and strengthen snooping -- I am at a loss for the words but punishments in the Act, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, several other issues were raised in the report. The fact that we do not currently have a patient portal and are unable to support one --

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was interested to note the release of the 10-year report on the Health Information Act, and I am a bit concerned about some of the recommendations that have come out of it and I am curious if the health Minister has an overarching response. We haven't really seen a response from the government yet to this report, so I am wondering if the Minister has any reflections to share at this time about the report. Thank you. Health Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I certainly think that there's merit in engaging specific stakeholders when developing regulations like this, particularly complex ones; however, I think what Alternatives North is pointing out is -- just questioning whether there's a level playing field for all stakeholders who are being engaged. So I'd like the Minister to comment on that. Will Alternatives North be given similar opportunities to engage with the technical working group to share their thoughts and concerns on the MRA rights?

Thank you. I am glad to be drilling down to specifics, Mr. Speaker. So once that process is complete, what's the next step; what happens? What can the Assembly expect to see? Are the amendments going to come forward for the Assembly to approve? That's what I am looking to understand. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as with most sittings, I'd like to ask the Minister of ECC about the ongoing efforts to make targeted amendments to the Waters Act and would like to do the same this sitting.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister give us an update as to where we are at in that process to make targeted amendments to the Waters Act.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I am happy to provide a bit of public pressure behind that initiative that the Minister just suggested so I would just, yeah, put my support behind that and would like to see that as well.

Mr. Speaker, I know that the college was -- or the Minister's office was advertising board appointments. How is that process going, and when can we expect to see a fully appointed and -- well, full appointments to the board? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd just like to join my colleagues in a chorus of thank-yous in support and recognition of our interpreters and the wonderful work that they do. I particularly appreciate the prayers that they share with us every morning. It really helps ground me, and it helps me set up for what are often very difficult days. So I want to thank them. And also, you know, the various support staff in the building that we always need to acknowledge at the end of this long session. They truly are the engine that keeps this thing running, and I deeply appreciate...
