ONTARIO HYDRO PRESIDENT
The Chair (Mr Peter Kormos): Thank you, people. We have the 125, formerly 123, designation by Mr Jordan regarding the departure of the president of Ontario Hydro. This is an opportunity for the committee to question those witnesses who have been asked to appear. There aren't any who have accepted the invitation to appear. I have asked the clerk to reinvite those people, and that matter will be dealt with then, when those people appear.
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AMENDMENT ACT, 1992 LOI DE 1992 MODIFIANT LE CODE DE LA ROUTE
Consideration of Bill 124, An Act to amend the Highway Traffic Act / Loi portant modification du Code de la route.
The Chair: We've got the report discussion on bicycle helmets. Oftentimes, committees prefer to discuss reports in camera. Is it the wish of this committee that it continue on record? Okay.
Ms Anderson has prepared a draft. The purpose of our discussion today and, if we have time, on Wednesday, is to give Ms Anderson some assistance, because clearly the report isn't going to be completed by her before Thursday, no two ways about it. But if we can give her some instructions and assistance and direction, she'll have some outlines to work with over the course of the winter break.
She's already submitted her draft preliminary, dated December 7, 1992. Any discussion regarding that?
Mrs Dianne Cunningham (London North): As usual, our thanks go to Ms Anderson for doing another thorough job, but there are about eight questions; they're in the italics beginning on page 6. If I'm missing anything, please help me along; I read this very quickly. I'm not sure, Anne, whether you want to make any comment with regard to how you set it up. Maybe you should lead us through the questions. Whichever way you would prefer is fine by me.
Ms Anne Anderson: The way I went through the report was initially to set the context at the beginning, which was mostly descriptive text on what Bill 124 was and some of the things the committee had heard. I don't know whether people have had time to read through the report yet or whether you feel there are some items that I might have left out. You can let me know if there are.
The Chair: Let me interrupt you, Ms Anderson. Has everybody read the report? No? Okay, we'll recess until 4:15. Why even bother, if we don't have a little time just to look through it? If not, we're just dancing in the fog.
The committee recessed at 1554 and resumed at 1618.
The Chair: Come to order. Mr Huget?
Mr Bob Huget (Sarnia): I request that we go back in camera.
The Chair: Thank you, and we shall.
The committee continued in closed session at 1619.
