SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
The Vice-Chair (Mr Tony Silipo): Good morning. I call this meeting of the standing committee on government agencies to order. We have two reports of the subcommittee to deal with that you have in front of you, plus a third one from a meeting that we had just prior to the committee that we'll read out when we get to it.
On the first report of the subcommittee on committee business dated February 13, 1997, Mr Wood.
Mr Bob Wood (London South): I move adoption of the report of the subcommittee of February 13, 1997.
The Vice-Chair: Any discussion? All those in favour? Opposed? Carried.
The second item is the amended report of the subcommittee on committee business dated Monday, February 24, 1997.
Mr Bob Wood: I move adoption of that subcommittee report.
The Vice-Chair: Any discussion on that? All those in favour? Opposed? That's carried.
The third is from a subcommittee meeting that we had this morning. I'll just read it out to you:
"Request that the House leaders allow the committee to meet for one day" -- and we're requesting specifically March 19 -- "during the recess to consider intended appointees.
"That standing order 106(g)5 be waived subject to the intended appointee being available to appear."
That standing order requires seven days' notice, and again we were comfortable in the subcommittee that as long as the intended appointees were available to appear, that would be acceptable to the members of the subcommittee and hopefully to the members of the committee.
"That the Chair and the clerk be authorized to make necessary arrangements."
The reason for this request we are making is to allow us to get through the list we have, which you note is a fairly large list of intended appointees, and keep within the time frame that we are required to as a committee. We know that with one day's sitting of the committee during the break, we would be able to get ourselves through the list that we've just adopted to hear.
Mr Bob Wood: I move adoption of the report of the subcommittee of February 26, 1997.
The Vice-Chair: Is there any discussion on that? All those in favour? Opposed? Carried.
There being no other business in front of the committee, the committee stands adjourned.
The committee adjourned at 1005.
