Maybe I could address this under this section. I know the corporation operates a senior citizens' home in Fort Providence. All the equipment that is there now has been there since the building was built. I'm referring mostly to stoves and fridges.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, this summer we did a paint job, basically an inside face-lift, on the seniors' home in Providence. We have written to CMHC, the owner of the building, to request that we work with them to upgrade that building and solve the problems they have. We did approximately $60,000 worth of work in painting and drywall repairs and some repairs to the flooring. Silverado Painting is going in to finish the painting.

We did work on all 16 units of the seniors' residence in Fort Providence under the M and I program.

I think we are going to move on to Bill 3 in your green books, under tab 3.

The committee will again come to order. We were on Bill 3, Guardianship and Trusteeship Act. It is in your green books under tab 3. When the matter was set aside, there was a motion dealing with clause 1. The motion was put forward by Mr. Lewis. I guess we are going to be dealing with that motion. I understand the motion had not been ruled in order at the time. I would like to recognize Mr. Lewis.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I've had a chance to meet with both Ministers sponsoring this bill, Mr. Chairman, and they are proposing amendments that are achieving a similar purpose of the one I had introduced. Therefore, I will withdraw my amendment.

The committee agrees, Mr. Lewis. General comments. Minister Kakfwi, would you like to bring your witnesses into the chambers before we proceed with general comments? The Minister has indicated that he would. Sergeant-at-Arms, would you assist the Minister with his witnesses.

Thank you. Minister Kakfwi, would you be so kind as to introduce your witnesses to the committee?
