Dispute In Coral Harbour  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sorry, Madam Speaker; I think I'm the first one to make that mistake.

Committee Motion 43-12(5): To Amend Clause 5 Of Bill 19, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm a bit confused here with respect to this particular section.

Question 447-12(5): Status Of Freight Subsidy In Transportation Strategy  Thank you, Madam Speaker. Final supplementary so I guess it had better be a good one.

Question 447-12(5): Status Of Freight Subsidy In Transportation Strategy  Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Question 447-12(5): Status Of Freight Subsidy In Transportation Strategy  Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Transportation.

Question 434-12(5): Changes To Health Care Plan Re Infant Formulas  As I stated in my Member's statement, if the mothers, especially in low income, and average mothers cannot actually afford...I'm told in Repulse Bay that Similac is $17 a can and it is $19 for Enfalac.

Question 434-12(5): Changes To Health Care Plan Re Infant Formulas  Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Health.

The High Cost Of Infant Formulas  (Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker, and thank you colleagues. Like I said, they can only obtain this type of formula when it is authorized by Social Services following a written letter from the nurse stating that the baby is ill.

Bill 18: Write-off Of Debts Act, 1993-94  Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Bill 18: Write-off Of Debts Act, 1993-94  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Recognizing Mr. Pudluk's statement earlier, it is Arvaluk. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I have no problems with other bills.

Question 410-12(5): Minister's Meaning Of "qualifications" Of Students  Thank you, Madam Speaker. I cannot see how he can say a divisional board has any business whatsoever to decide on behalf of the student what kind of course that student should be taking in high school.

Question 410-12(5): Minister's Meaning Of "qualifications" Of Students  Thank you, Madam Speaker. I know that both courses are available in the grade extensions. However, there are some instances, like in Pond Inlet, where there were so many students taking general that it did not warrant having academic classes being held there because there were
