SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT
The Chair (Mr Ted Chudleigh): Seeing a quorum present, I call the meeting to order. I welcome Mr Wood, the member for Cochrane North, to his first meeting, as well as Mr Rollins to his first meeting. Thank you very much for joining us. I hope you find our meetings interesting.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the subcommittee report. I believe copies of that have been distributed to you. We were able to adjust some of the timing to take into consideration the time schedules of the member of the opposition and the member of the third party in February. Might I suggest that the minister will appear before the committee on Thursday, February 6, and he will be before the committee for one hour. I suggest that we commence that meeting at 11 am, with the committee's approval. In the afternoon we will deal with the staff for a two-hour time frame.
On the other dates we will operate at our normal times, from 10 to 12 and following the orders of the House to 6 pm.
Because we are meeting on Wednesdays, which are not our normal times, I have drafted a letter to go to the House leaders. On the passing of these minutes, that letter will go forward.
If you have any questions from your House leaders, I would ask your cooperation on that as well, so we can get through the pre-budget consultations in a somewhat normal fashion.
Will someone move the subcommittee report? Mr Martiniuk, seconded by Mr Kwinter. All in favour? Agreed.
Is there any other business to bring before the committee at this time? Seeing none, I thank you for your cooperation. Another long meeting of the standing committee on finance and economic affairs. I'll see you next Thursday morning at 11 am.
The committee adjourned at 1101.
