Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, last Friday, the Minister of Finance indicated that the community wellness fund has yet to be discussed by Cabinet or the Financial Management Board; however, SCOF was assured that the Cabinet was very actively involved in the envelope process. Since, as the Minister has indicated, this information item came from the Social Envelope Committee, and since the Minister and the government know the high priority that the Standing Committee on Finance and this Legislature have placed on balancing the requirements of social issues, how is it that Cabinet Members were apparently unaware of the need to identify funding for this initiative?
