Thanks to Mr. St. Germaine. So just a quick follow-up. So then the allowance for doubtful accounts includes both write-off amounts and forgiveness amounts. Is that right? Thank you.

St. Germaine

Yes, they include that and additional accounts that haven’t reached a point of seeking specific approval. Thank you.

The Chair

The Chair Daryl Dolynny

Okay. Committee, we’re on general comments, Bill 9, general comments. Does committee agree that there are no further comments and we’d like to proceed to clause-by-clause of the bill?

Agreed.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just wanted to acknowledge that Mr. St. Germaine, on June 20th , is going to start the fruits

of his many years of labour and he is going to retire. This will be the last time he will be appearing before this august body at this witness table. I just want to thank him on behalf of all of us and I just want to wish him a very long, happy and productive next stage of his life because I don’t imagine he’ll retire, but this is his last time here.

---Applause

The Chair Daryl Dolynny
