Good morning colleagues. Before we begin the day, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge a special day for one of our Members. It happens to be the birthday of the Member for the riding of Yellowknife South, the Honourable Brendan Bell.
---Applause
What a difference eight years makes. I remember when he was first elected to the 14th Assembly. Mr. Bell was known as Baby Bell, but he's gone from Baby Bell to a seasoned veteran. So all the best to you today.
Orders of the day. Ministers' statements. The honourable Premier, Mr. Handley.
