Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I guess the only thing I would add to that is a good-news story, and that would be ECE's travelling support team, as well, who goes into the schools. I really look forward to seeing where that team goes over the next three-and-a-half years. Thank you. No f

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Yes, I guess just a comment. Thank you, Madam Chair. I would never expect a child to not get service because of wait times or to deny medical travel by any means. I just want to make sure that we are looking at ways that we can provide these services to kids in the way that best

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. My second question is in regard to wait times for access to assessment and rehabilitation services for children being reduced. At what point does Cabinet intend to focus that on teams who travel the north, on specialists who come and live in communities ve

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. It's been a long day.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. Under the second point here, it says "conduct an independent review." How independent will that review be? Thank you.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I am happy to hear that we are willing to have the conversation, and I will happily sit down any time with the Minister to discuss it.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair.

Committee Motion 2-19(2): Concurrence Motion - Tabled Document 17-19(2): Supplementary Estimates (Operations Expenditures), No. 4, 2019-2020, Carried  Thank you, Madam Chair. I sometimes think that Rocky and I live in the same place, because we have a lot of similarities between the people who we serve and the concerns that come up in our ridings. I'm going to try not to repeat what he has just said, but I think that these next

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair.

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. Does this number also include residents who travel for medical travel down to, say, Edmonton, for appointments with physicians down in Alberta, who aren't necessary permanently residing outside of the territory?

Consideration In Committee Of The Whole Of Bills And Other Matters  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I am happy to see a lot of these line items don't have a net effect on government operations because they are fully offset.
