Thank you, Mr. Chair. If possible, there were a number of general comments presented on the bill. I was hoping, Mr. Chair, through you, we’d be able to get a reply to those general comments from the Minister. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to thank the Members for their comments and, like the previous speakers, I want to acknowledge first the significant amount of work, time and effort that’s been put in over the course of two Assemblies to get this bill to where it is today, before this House and approved. I acknowledge that, like everything we do, this is a very, very good piece of work.

There are things in here clearly, as Mr. Dolynny has identified, that in his opinion need to be carefully scrutinized in the coming years and that hopefully, as he has indicated, things will evolve to even better improve the current act that is now being approved in this House. Ms. Bisaro, as well, identified some of the concerns as well as the processes of how they were resolved and I’ll make the same comment here that I made in other venues, that this document is a testament and would only have been possible with this type of government. The level of collaboration and cooperation between the government, the MLAs, staff on both sides, and both sides came up with a very fine piece of work and it’s a credit to all involved. Thank you.
