Welcome, witness. Before I allow for general comments, I just want to remind the Members that under section 79, the rules of the House in regard to Committee of the Whole:
- No Member shall speak for more than 10 minutes at any one time in Committee of the Whole.
- Subject to the discretion of the chair, a Member may speak more than once on a matter under discussion, but not until every Member wishing to speak has spoken.
I just want to assure that we allow for other Members, and to allow fairness in the House. So I will be reminding you if this rule does apply. I will be enforcing it if I have to. General comments, Bill 18, Supplementary Appropriation Act. General comments. Ms. Lee.
