I would like to call the committee to order.
---Applause
On our agenda today is Minister's Statement 1-13(2) entitled Sessional Statement. I see some of the Members are calling for a break. Just before we go for a break, I would like to, for those of you who didn't read through your Member's handbooks from cover to cover, make a couple of small points for when we come back for the new Members. Speeches are strictly relevant to the item under consideration; no Member shall speak for more than 10 minutes; and, no Member shall speak for a second time until each Member wishing to speak has had at least one chance to speak. The committee will recess for 15 minutes. Thank you.
