Agreed. Bill 27 is now ready for third reading as amended. With that I would like to thank the witnesses and I would like to welcome Mr. Roland and Mr. Allen back to the House. Welcome home.
I believe the next bill we agreed to deal with is Bill 25, Supplementary Appropriations Act, No. 4, 2001-2002. At this time I would like to ask the Minister responsible for introducing the bill if you have any opening comments. Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, Supplementary Appropriation No. 4 requests authority for additional operations expenditure appropriations of $16,917,000 for departmental over-expenditures.
This request is being made to comply with the authorization process for over-expenditures of appropriations caused by year-end accruals as provided for in the Financial Administration Act as follows:
- $11,189,000 for the Department of the Executive, Financial Management Board Secretariat, for the resolution of the equal pay complaint filed against the GNWT by the Public Service Alliance of Canada under the Canadian Human Rights Act;
- $5,728,000 for the Department of Education, Culture and Employment to record the liability for the GNWT share of payments for the negotiated settlement of claims respecting student abuse in the education system.
Mr. Chairman, I am prepared to review the details of the supplementary appropriation document. Thank you.
