MR. BELLIVEAU: Mr. Speaker, my question again is to the Minister of Health, and I am going to do my interpretation of Vanna White here. I would like to table a tender for . . .

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I would also like to remind all members both new and returning, that the use of props is not permitted in the House and if you have a document to table, the Page will be happy to present it to the Clerks.

MR. BELLIVEAU: Mr. Speaker, I'm quickly learning, but I'm not going to give up on the Bayside project.

THE SPEAKER: Order. The time allotted for Oral Questions Put by Members to Ministers has expired.

The member for Cape Breton Centre-Whitney Pier, during Question Period tabled documents that were unattributed letters and e-mails. You are not allowed to table documents that are unattributed to anyone. You can re-table these in the future if you'd like to, but you cannot redact the information. We'll return the tabled documents, and we will ask the member to retract the quotes from Question Period.

KENDRA COOMBES: Speaker, on Friday, the Minister of Community Services asked me to table some documents. This comes from a DCS worker from Eastern Passage: "Good afternoon, Kendra. I watched the Legislature and heard what the minister said to you. Well, I for one am sending you this email that I can't count the ways . . ."

THE SPEAKER: Order. I ask you not to read the document. I ask you just to table it.

The honourable member for Cape Breton Centre-Whitney Pier.

HON. ZACH CHURCHILL: Speaker, I want to bring your attention to documents that were presented by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. They were presented in the House as quotations. However, the documents themselves are not presented as quotations. They are presented as briefing note bullets. The words are not attributed to any individuals.

HON. MICHEL SAMSON: Mr. Speaker, on a point of order. In listening to the member for Pictou East speak very passionately on Bill No. 82, I think it's important that whenever members are reading from a specific document, I think there is a duty upon all members to identify exactly what document it is that they are quoting from.

MR. YOUNGER: Yet one thing was installed properly - the sign with the names of the minister and the Premier on it, with a version of the NDP election slogan. (Interruptions) I'll table that.

MR. SPEAKER: Order, please. I understand you're tabling that. You can't hold it up in the manner of using it as a prop in the House, please. Just table it and continue on and ask the minister your question.

HON. ZACH CHURCHIL: I'd like to bring the attention of the House to the West Gallery, where we are joined by two great friends, Shannon and Ben MacLean from Pictou County, who have joined us here to watch Question Period and today's proceedings. If they could receive the warm welcome of the House, it would be greatly appreciated.

THE SPEAKER: Welcome. I hope you enjoyed Question Period, as everyone else did, and I hope you have a wonderful time.

The honourable Leader of the Official Opposition.

THE SPEAKER: Before we begin the daily routine, I do want to make a Speaker's Ruling on something from yesterday. Having reviewed the guidelines and rulings of previous Speakers regarding statements by members, I must rule the two statements made by the honourable member for Cumberland North to be out of order on two grounds.

THE PREMIER: Speaker, we are very supportive of the industry. We've evidenced that with significant announcements. We've made more investments in the industry than the prior government did. We are supportive of the industry. We'll continue to be supportive of the industry. It's an important industry for our province. There's absolutely no question about that.
