Thank you, Mr. Chairman, as a suggestion to the minister responsible, if there is any documentation related to this, could it always be referred to as a proposed amalgamation so we do not go around in circles again until we vote on it?

Item 21, third reading of bills. Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable member from Tu Nedhe that Bill 1, Supplementary Appropriation Act No. 2 for 96/97 be read for the third time.

Thank you, the motion is in order. To the motion. Question. Mr. Ootes.

Mr. Picco to the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have some reservations with Supplementary Act No. 2 96/97 because I feel there maybe some user pay/user say initiatives in that Supplementary Appropriation which are part of the amalgamation scheme. At the appropriate time I will be voting against it.

Thank you. Again to remind the members that on the third reading stage of a bill, a member does not speak to the bill itself as it has already been concluded. Also the only time that a member can speak to third reading of bills is to propose a motion. Third reading of bills, a recorded vote has been requested. Third reading of bills? Question has been called. All those in favour please stand.
