Thank you, Mr. Ootes. Before we begin today, I would like to remind Members, and caution Members and Ministers, prior to statements and question period that any statements or questions by Members or replies by Ministers dealing with the harmonization strategy will be ruled out of order by the Chair. The strategy for harmonization of income is on the orders paper for today and Members will have ample time and opportunity to deal with that issue at the appropriate time. Item 2, Ministers' statements. The honourable Member for Nunakput, Mr. Steen.
