Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. To the principle of the bill. The honourable Member for Range Lake, Ms. Lee.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Minister of Health and Social Services and on behalf of the government I would just like to put it on record that the government supports this bill. We have indicated that support to the Member in other venues, and we make the commitment that we’ll work with the Member to make sure that the details are worked out and supported by the Department of Health as we move forward.

I believe I’ll be making a formal presentation at the consultation process in committee, but I just wanted to put that on the record.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. To the principle of the bill. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In brief, I just want to say I’ll be supporting the bill. This represents protection for those who have community spirit. Again, this creates some type of generosity and certainly provides them the protection to do that. In that regard, I see it as a decent step forward for community minded individuals who want to help out in the ways they can.

Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Bill 19 has had second reading.
