ELECTION OF CHAIR
Clerk of the Committee (Ms Lisa Freedman): Honourable members, it's my duty to call upon you to elect a Chair. Are there any nominations?
Ms Zanana L. Akande (St Andrew-St Patrick): I nominate Rosario Marchese for Chair.
Mr David Tilson (Dufferin-Peel): Could you say that louder?
Mr Noel Duignan (Halton North): Why?
Clerk of the Committee: Are there any further nominations? I declare the nominations closed and Mr Marchese elected as Chair of the committee.
The Chair (Mr Rosario Marchese): Thank you.
Mr Duignan: Why not let this be short?
The Chair: No jokes on shortness, all right?
Mr Duignan: Remo's not here any more.
ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR
The Chair: Do I have nominations for the election of Vice-Chair?
Mr Gary Malkowski (York East): I nominate Margaret Harrington.
The Chair: Then done. Any other nominations? All those in favour? Any opposed? Even David supports it. Margaret's the Vice-Chair.
BUSINESS SUBCOMMITTEE
The Chair: Okay, formation of the subcommittee.
Mr Tilson: I would move that a subcommittee on committee business be appointed to meet from time to time at the call of the Chair or at the request of any member thereof to consider and report to the committee on the business of the committee; that substitution be permitted on the subcommittee; that the presence of all members of the subcommittee is necessary to constitute a quorum; and that the subcommittee be composed of the following members: Mr Marchese as Chair, Ms Harrington, Mr Harnick and Mr Chiarelli.
The Chair: Any discussion on that motion? Seeing none, all in favour? Any opposed? That carries. Any other business?
Mr Tilson: I assume that some time we're going to be discussing agendas.
The Chair: Yes. It was my intent for us to remain behind with all of the whips to discuss that, but given that the Liberal member isn't here, perhaps we can talk about a date and then have a meeting with the subcommittee some time this week. Is that all right with you?
Mr Tilson: That's agreeable.
The Chair: Very well. Move adjournment?
Mr Gordon Mills (Durham East): So moved.
The Chair: All in favour? Unanimous. Thank you.
The committee adjourned at 1536.
