Assemblée législative de l'Ontario

 

The committee met at 0900 in committee room 2.

Committee business

The Chair (Mr. Steve Clark): Good morning, everyone. The Standing Committee on Social Policy will begin. Are there any motions? Ms. Martin.

Mrs. Robin Martin: I move that the committee enter closed session for the purposes of organizing committee business.

The Chair (Mr. Steve Clark): Any discussion? MPP Sattler.

Ms. Peggy Sattler: I would speak against this motion. I don’t think that we need to move in camera in order to discuss committee business. It’s important to be transparent so that Ontarians understand the decisions that are made by the committee about organizing to receive public input on this bill.

The Chair (Mr. Steve Clark): Any further discussion? All those in favour?

Ms. Peggy Sattler: Recorded vote.

Ayes

Gallagher Murphy, Jordan, Kusendova-Bashta, Martin, Quinn, Wai.

Nays

Brady, Sattler.

 

The Chair (Mr. Steve Clark): The motion is carried.

We’ll give the opportunity for the room to be cleared and then we’ll begin a closed session. We’ll take a recess.

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