The committee met at 1602 in committee room 1.
ELECTION OF CHAIR
Clerk of the Committee (Ms Susan Sourial): Honourable members, I think we're going to start. It's my duty to call upon you to elect a Chair. Are there any nominations?
Mr Brad Duguid (Scarborough Centre): I'm pleased to nominate Mr Kevin Flynn, the member from Oakville. Mr Flynn has been a councillor with the town of Oakville and region of Halton for over 18 years. He's been a business person for over 20 years. He's chaired numerous committees, from property tax reform, budget committees, social services to finance. I think he's very qualified, and I think he'd make an excellent Chair.
Clerk of the Committee: Any further nominations? Seeing none, I declare nominations closed and Mr Flynn the Chair.
ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR
The Chair (Mr Kevin Daniel Flynn): Thank you very much. As the first order of business, it's my duty to call upon you to elect a Vice-Chair. Are there any nominations?
Mr Kim Craitor (Niagara Falls): I'm pleased to put forward the name of Jim Brownell.
The Chair: Any further nominations? Seeing none, there being no further nominations, I declare nominations closed and Mr Brownell elected Vice-Chair of the committee. Congratulations.
Mr Jim Brownell (Stormont-Dundas-Charlottenburgh): Thank you.
APPOINTMENT OF SUBCOMMITTEE
The Chair: Do we have any nominations for the subcommittee?
Mr Craitor: It's me again, eh? I'm pleased to move that a subcommittee on committee business be appointed to meet from time to time, at the call of the Chair or on the request of any member thereof, to consider and report to the committee on the business of the committee, and that the subcommittee be composed of the following members -- the committee Chair as Chair, Mr Gravelle and Mr Klees -- and that the presence of all the members of the subcommittee is necessary to constitute a meeting.
The Chair: All those in favour? Opposed? That motion is carried.
Mr Michael Gravelle (Thunder Bay-Superior North): Mr Chair, if I may, I'd like to recommend that Mr Kormos be invited to sit as a subcommittee member as well, as a non-voting member of the subcommittee.
The Chair: Mr Gravelle has moved that Mr Kormos be invited to sit on the subcommittee as a non-voting member. All those in favour? Opposed? Carried.
Is there any other business of the committee? It appears that we'll be sitting tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, in the same room, from 10 till 12, and from either 3:30 or 4 until 6.
Ms Kathleen O. Wynne (Don Valley West): Will there be heat?
The Chair: Will there be heat? Heat's optional.
That's our business for the day. Will the members of the subcommittee please stay behind? We're adjourned.
