Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Similarly, during the debates around this when the standing committee was discussing it, this was something that I had considered and supported at that time. I just think that when you’re giving consideration to essentially our first post-devolution bill that this just makes good sense. It’s good communications practice, quite frankly.

As others have alluded to, there can be circumstances where an environmental situation overlaps a number of our departments whether it’s lands, ENR, ITI, Health. For those reasons, it makes sense to me that we would want it to be Cabinet. That allows these exemptions to take place. This motion still, as others alluded to, covers off on the emergency aspects that will still come under the Minister responsible.

For those reasons and lastly I actually want to add that I think it’s important that Cabinet knows so that they can report accordingly through and down to their respective – not down, that’s the wrong word to use – but report accordingly to their respective departments just in case there’s any need for their department to be prepared in any way, shape, or form if an exemption were to be had. For those reasons, Mr. Chair, I’ll be in support of this motion. Thank you.
