ELECTION OF CHAIR
Clerk of the Committee (Mr Douglas Arnott): Good morning, honourable members. It is my duty to call upon you to elect a Chair of the committee. Are there any nominations, please?
Mr Bill Grimmett (Muskoka-Georgian Bay): I would like to move that Frances Lankin be the Chair of the committee and that she assume the chair.
Clerk of the Committee: Are there any further nominations? There being no further nominations, I declare nominations closed and Ms Lankin duly elected Chair of the committee.
ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR
The Chair (Ms Frances Lankin): Thank you very much. The second item on the agenda is election of the Vice-Chair. Are there any nominations for the position of Vice-Chair?
Mr Grimmett: I would like to nominate Mr Marchese as the Vice-Chair.
The Chair: Are there any further nominations? Seeing no further nominations, nominations are closed. Mr Marchese, welcome as Vice-Chair.
Mr Rosario Marchese (Fort York): Thank you very much.
APPOINTMENT OF SUBCOMMITTEE
The Chair: Moving right along, the third item on the agenda is the motion to appoint the subcommittee on committee business. If you see the attached page, the form of the motion is set out. It is just a question of filling in the representatives from the three parties.
Mr Bert Johnson (Perth): 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: the Chair as chair, Mr Grimmett, Mr Gravelle and Mr Marchese; and that substitution be permitted on the subcommittee.
The Chair: Thank you. The motion is duly before the committee. Is there any debate? Seeing none, all those in favour? Opposed? The motion is carried. We have a subcommittee.
I believe that is the entirety of the business. There will be a subcommittee meeting immediately following adjournment. Do we require a motion for adjournment?
Clerk of the Committee: No.
The Chair: We don't. Okay, adjourned. You can leave and we will go to the subcommittee at this point. Thank you very much.
The committee adjourned at 1004.
