COMMITTEE BUSINESS
The Vice-Chair (Mr Alvin Curling): May I call the estimates meeting to order? Let me just read our proceedings here. We're called to order for us to be considering --
Mr Ted Chudleigh (Halton): Mr Chair, may I make a motion? Since this has only just been introduced in the House and we're really not prepared to look at ministries at this point in time, I'd call for an adjournment of this committee.
Mr John O'Toole (Durham): I second that motion.
Mr Chudleigh: I think "All in favour" is the next --
The Vice-Chair: The Liberal members are not here, you see. I want to put the question, but the members of the Liberals --
Mr O'Toole: I'll sit in the chair and you can --
Mr Frank Mazzilli (London-Fanshawe): They've got bigger issues to deal with than this.
Mr Chudleigh: But it doesn't matter. The four of us are here.
The Vice-Chair: You mean to say that the majority is there, right? OK, let me put the question. You've asked that we have an adjournment. Do you want to put a date to that? Next Wednesday?
Mr Chudleigh: The Chair is perfectly capable of calling another meeting whenever he wants. He did it with very, very short notice today, with no notification to us.
The Vice-Chair: So I presume it's a straight adjournment until Tuesday?
Mr Michael Prue (Beaches-East York): I don't know; I'm prepared to proceed. The majority says no? I already know what we want.
The Vice-Chair: The question then is that we adjourn until the call of the Chair for the estimates.
Mr Chudleigh: That would be good. Next Wednesday would be good.
The Vice-Chair: The call of the Chair could be -- are you changing the motion to Wednesday?
Mr Chudleigh: Whenever you like. Next Wednesday, the call of the Chair -- we're magnanimous.
The Vice-Chair: To the call of the Chair; the earliest time is on Tuesday. Is that the consensus of the committee? All in favour? Agreed. It seems that we stand adjourned until the call of the Chair.
The committee adjourned at 1615.
