I'd like to thank Bertha Catholique for the opening prayer and reflections today.

Colleagues, before we start the day, there's a couple things I'd like to stress. Remember, we have the dignity to be able to speak in this House but make sure we do not bring other people's names into this place or businesses because they don't have the right to defend themselves. We do have some autonomy here but make sure we have the information that we say in this House that it's very clear and as truthful as we can be so that we don't impugn integrity of that.

The second thing is on Friday somebody scheduled it so that we wouldn't be able to do something to him, so I'm going to do it today. I'd to wish our clerk a Happy Belated Birthday; life is good. That red looks really nice on you, Mr. Clerk.

Ministers' statements. Mr. Premier.
