Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present the Standing Committee on Social Programs Report on the Review of the 2002-2003 Main Estimates.
The Standing Committee on Social Programs met from January 14th to January 25th 2002 to review the draft main estimates. The social programs envelope includes the Department of Education, Culture and Employment, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Social Services and the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation.
The committee, in our discussions with the Ministers, raised a number of issues. These discussions resulted in the committee making some specific recommendations. The issues and recommendations will be discussed under the appropriate department, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, that concludes the introductory portion of the Report of the Standing Committee on Social Programs on the Review of the 2002-2003 Main Estimates. Therefore,
I MOVE, seconded by the honourable Member for Frame Lake, that Committee Report 3-14(5) be received by the Legislative Assembly and moved into committee of the whole for consideration. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
