THE SPEAKER: Order. I ask the member to stick to the Financial Measures Act. (Interruptions) No. Order. There's been some argument within the crowd, but you are going off. This is not the first time you went off, but you are going off, so stick to the Financial Measures Act, please.

The honourable member for Kings South.

KEITH IRVING: It is important that the budget that is reflected in the Appropriations Act is recognized for what it is. You've thrown me completely off, Speaker, and I know you're trying to guide me here. Let me move on.

HON. KIM MASLAND: I'd just like to take a few minutes to address the misinformation that is being stated here now twice on the floor of the Legislature by the MLA for Cumberland North regarding the broadening of the mandate of Highway 104 Western Alignment Corporation.

THE SPEAKER: Order. I'd ask the honourable member to retract and replace the word "misinformation."

The honourable Minister of Public Works.

KIM MASLAND: Again, I'd like to address some - pardon me? I'll retract the word "misinformation."

ELIZABETH SMITH-MCCROSSIN: There is a culture of silencing in this province, particularly around sexual assault. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Advisory Council on the Status of Women Act. I'd like the minister to tell us here in the House why this government still refuses to pass legislation around the misuse of non-disclosure agreements in cases of sexual assault. Other members in this House have raised today the concerns around misogyny and the silencing and the treatment of women, particularly in this Legislature.
