I think a good example of that was the five options presented to us for the airport t

Committee Motion 503-19(2): Bill 65: Builders' Lien Act - New Clause 3.1, Carried Thank you, Madam Chair. I don't reiterate everything that my colleague from Kam Lake said, and I don't think I actually could after this long day in the House and week as well so far.

Question 1604-19(2): Agricultual Growth Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I appreciate the Minister's response.
