Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to recommend that we continue consideration of Bill 2 and Committee Report 3-14(5), to try and conclude the consideration of the budget of the Department of Health and Social Services. Following that, I would like to suggest that we have a general discussion around Motion 1-14(5), without necessarily concluding that document, but whenever Members have made some comments about it and are ready to move on, that we then move on to resume consideration of Bill 2 and Committee Report 2-14(5) to also get into the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development budget.
