The Chair (Mr. Aris Babikian): Good morning, everyone. The Standing Committee on the Interior will now come to order.

We are here for clause-by-clause consideration of Bill 186, An Act to limit the liability in respect of agritourism. If a member indicates that they wish to move additional amendments, we will take a short recess to allow the member to consult with legislative counsel to draft a motion.

Are they any questions before we begin? I see none. We’ll move forward.

Are there any comments or questions to any section of the bill, and if so, to which section? I see none.

We will now begin clause-by-clause consideration of Bill 186.

There are no amendments to sections 1 to 6 of the bill. Does the committee agree to bundle these sections? Any opposition? I see none. We are bundling sections 1 to 6. Debate? I see none.

Are the members ready to vote? All in favour, please raise your hand. Any opposition? I see none. Sections—and the bundling of—1 through 6 are carried.

Now we’ll move to the preamble of the bill. Shall the preamble of the bill carry? Before we go to the vote, is there any debate? I see none. I’m going to put the question. All in favour, please raise your hand. Any opposition? I see none. The preamble of the bill is carried.

Shall the title of the bill carry? Any debate? I see none. All in favour, please raise your hand. Any opposition? I see none. The title of the bill is carried.
