OMBUDSMAN'S REPORT
The Chair (Mrs Margaret Marland): I'd like to call this meeting of the standing committee on the Legislative Assembly to order. The first business is to take the vote for the motion that we were in the middle of at the time that this committee moved the 20-minute adjournment to get the members. So we will proceed. It is a recorded vote and I will ask the clerk to take that vote now of those members in favour of the motion that is on the floor.
Mr Ted Arnott (Waterloo-Wellington): Could you read the motion, Madam Chair?
The Chair: Certainly. The motion reads as follows: "That the committee respectfully disagrees with the recommendation of the Ombudsman and finds that the northern health travel grant and the Cancer Care Ontario radiation re-referral policy are separate programs with distinct purposes, objectives and criteria."
AYES
Arnott, Dunlop, Gill, Munro.
NAYS
Di Cocco, Martel.
The Chair: That motion is carried. Will this report be reported to the House? All in favour?
Ms Shelley Martel (Nickel Belt): Is this a recorded vote as well?
The Chair: Ms Martel has requested a recorded vote.
AYES
Arnott, Dunlop, Gill, Munro.
NAYS
Di Cocco, Martel.
The Chair: That report will be reported to the House.
ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR
The Chair: The next order of business is the election of a Vice-Chair due to the change in responsibilities of Mr Gary Stewart, the previous Vice-Chair.
Mr Arnott: Madam Chair, it's my privilege to nominate Julia Munro for the position of Vice-Chair of this committee.
The Chair: Mrs Julia Munro has been nominated to be Vice-Chair.
Mr Raminder Gill (Bramalea-Gore-Malton-Springdale): I second that.
The Chair: It's seconded by Mr Raminder Gill. Are there any further nominations? All in favour? Mrs Munro is Vice-Chair. That is unanimously carried.
Is there any other business before the committee?
Mr Arnott: I move we adjourn, Madam Chair.
The Chair: All in favour of adjournment? That is carried.
We certainly will look forward to getting into some more business for this committee at the next meeting. I appreciate the promptness of the members being here today.
The committee adjourned at 1551.
