Mr Pat Hoy (Essex-Kent): I 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 the presence of all members of the subcommittee is necessary to constitute a meeting; and that the subcommittee be composed of the following members: Mrs Elliott as chair, Mr Galt, Mr Hoy and Mr Christopherson; and that any member may designate a substitute member on the subcommittee who is of the same recognized party.

The Chair: Is there any discussion on this motion, colleagues?

Seeing none, all those in favour? Opposed? The motion is carried.

Any further business?
