ORGANIZATION
The Chair (Mr Richard Patten): Let me say welcome to everyone. We will have some new members on the committee, I suspect. Our purpose today is to amend the membership of the subcommittee. That requires the approval of this committee. Therefore, I understand we have some motions to that effect and I'll entertain those now.
Mr Michael Gravelle (Port Arthur): I move that the membership of the subcommittee on committee business be amended by substituting Mr Cooke for Mr Wildman as the New Democratic member of the subcommittee.
The Chair: All those in favour?
Mr David S. Cooke (Windsor-Riverside): I was going to vote no.
The Chair: That has passed.
Mr Dan Newman (Scarborough Centre): I move that the membership on the subcommittee on committee busi- ness be amended by substituting Mrs Johns for Mrs Ecker as the Conservative member of the subcommittee.
The Chair: All in favour? Unanimous. That is passed.
I welcome Mrs Johns and Mr Cooke to the committee. I know you will enjoy this committee because there is a fine group of members on it and we usually have exciting and important business to do.
I would also like to say I'm looking forward to working with our new clerk. There was a clerk shuffle and Tonia Grannum will now be our clerk. I know that we will work as effectively, as efficiently and as cooperatively as we did with Lynn. I would like, on our behalf, to extend to Lynn Mellor, our former clerk, our appreciation for the very fine work she did on behalf of this committee.
Is there any further business? There being none, we will adjourn this meeting and resume at the call of the Chair.
The committee adjourned at 1539.
