Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe the big problem that we have here is the lack of communication between the Department of Transportation and Members of this House, especially when projects are being moved from one riding to another.

I fully support the bridge project on Campbell Creek. The point I am trying to make is the Minister did not keep me in the loop when he made that decision. Can the Minister keep me informed on all aspects in relation to this issue, so that I can know exactly what resources are going to be made available and how soon this project can take place?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, under the Financial Administration Act, has the Minister notified the Department of Finance of this movement of money from one project to another?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, no we did not because it is not a requirement. It is a different section that the Member is referring to, I believe.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are addressed to the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services, and once again they are in relation to the upcoming Cuff Report. The Minister's press release would give rise to the question, at this point, has she in fact seen the draft recommendations or the final recommendations of the report? She talks about their specific nature and what they relate to. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, no, I have not seen a draft report or any recommendations. I was referring to what we anticipate to be contained, in a general sense, as the areas which are outlined in the terms of reference for the report. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister has basically pushed aside my previous question on how they are going to tie in things like the request for community services boards, the outcome from the Social Agenda Conference, and the outcome and findings of whatever comes out of the governance work that is being done by the government. Can the Minister indicate whether that will be included before the department comes forward with their formal response? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, work that had already been done under various initiatives prior to the Cuff review starting, Mr. Cuff and his associates were instructed to take into account such things as work that was ongoing with self-government which may impact governance and board structure issues.

Certainly anything that happens following the release of the Cuff report prior to the implementation of the action plan that will be tabled in the fall session, if there is relevant information that comes to light, it could very well be included in the action plan as responses to the report may also be. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, one piece of work I neglected to mention as well, which is also gathering dust in the Health and Social Services archives, is the work done by the Minister's Forum on Health and Social Services. Will those recommendations and suggestions be incorporated into the response being brought forward by the Minister? Will it once again just be focused on what Mr. Cuff has to say? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am concerned as well about the lack of opportunities for MLAs and the Social Program Committee to have any meaningful say before this August 1 deadline, given the fact that July is on our calendars covered with nothing but nice bright, smiling suns. Many of us have made alternate plans. Can the Minister indicate if she intends to give the committees and MLAs adequate chance to have input before August 1st? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, after the publicizing of the Cuff report on June 25th, we will certainly be welcoming any comments, input and responses that may be forthcoming from the Social Programs Committee, from the public, from health boards, from anyone who has an interest and will take the time to read the recommendations in the report and respond to us. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for FMBS. Under the Financial Administration Act, it states that your department has to be informed if there are any changes to any capital projects. Can the Minister tell me, have you received any notification of these changes? Thank you.
