The committee met at 0900 in committee room 2.

Committee business

The Chair (Ms. Goldie Ghamari): Good morning, members. I’d like to call this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice Policy to order. As always, please wait to be recognized by myself before speaking. All questions and comments will need to go through the Chair.

On the agenda is committee business. Are there any motions? MPP Hogarth.

Ms. Christine Hogarth: I move that the committee enter closed session for the purposes of organizing committee business.

The Chair (Ms. Goldie Ghamari): MPP Hogarth has moved a motion. Is there any debate? Seeing none, are the members prepared to vote? All those in favour, please raise your hands. All those opposed? I declare the motion carried.

We will now go into closed session. We will recess for five minutes maybe, or less, and then we’ll go into closed session. Thank you.

The committee recessed at 0901 and later continued in closed session.
