SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): We had agreement from two other subcommittee members, Mr. Barrett, to perhaps do the subcommittee report, to read it into the record now on Bill 109, which is the bill that’s coming next week.

The only reason for doing that is we have time this morning just to read the subcommittee report. Is that—

Mr. Toby Barrett: Just to save time when we reconvene?

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): Yes.

Mr. Toby Barrett: Sure.

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): Because next week, the possibility exists—there’s a hearing, so we could just save time.

If we have agreement on that—agreed?

Mr. Peter Tabuns: No. I apologize. Could you just repeat that?

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): I’m asking if we could read the report of the subcommittee into the record on Bill 109, which is the bill we’re doing next week, rather than do it at the beginning of next week’s meeting.

Mr. Peter Tabuns: I agree, Mr. Chair.

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): Because we have a few moments here, it seems.

Okay, so if Ms. Pendergast would read that.

Ms. Leeanna Pendergast: Thank you, Chair.

The Chair (Mr. Pat Hoy): Would you read the report of the subcommittee, Thursday, October 21?

Ms. Leeanna Pendergast: Your subcommittee on committee business met on Thursday, October 21, 2010, to consider the method of proceeding on Bill 109, An Act to amend the Taxation Act, 2007 to implement the Ontario energy and property tax credit and to make consequential amendments, and recommends the following:
