Don Morin Tu Nedhe

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to thank my department for preparing this budget. I would like to

thank the Members for passing the majority of the budget, and deferring one item. So that there are no surprises coming closer at the end of session, I am not going to be able to supply that information before this House recesses. It is in the works, and we'll try our best to get the information before the fall. Thank you.
