Clerk of the Committee: If there are no further nominations, I declare the nominations closed and Mr O'Toole be elected as Chair.
The Chair (Mr John O'Toole): I'd like to thank Mr Carroll for the privilege of serving as Chair to this important committee. I know with your experience and background, not the least of which would be Bill 26, I will be calling on you from time to time to give me some wise advice.

The Chair: Very good. If there is other business, do any members of the committee --

That the presence of all members of the subcommittee is necessary to constitute a meeting; and
That the subcommittee be composed of the following members: Mr O'Toole, Mr Gilchrist, Mr Sergio and Mr Marchese; and
That any member may designate a substitute member on the subcommittee who is of the same recognized party.
The Chair: We have a motion by Ms Munro with respect to the formation of the subcommittee. Any comments or questions on that? Being none, I'll call the question. All those in support of that motion?
Mr Marchese: I can support that.
The Chair: That's carried unanimously, thank you. If there is no other business to conduct, this meeting is adjourned.
The committee adjourned at 1011.
