REGISTERED HUMAN RESOURCES
PROFESSIONALS ACT, 2013
LOI DE 2013 SUR LES PROFESSIONNELS
EN RESSOURCES HUMAINES INSCRITS

Consideration of the following bill:

Bill 32, An Act respecting the Human Resources Professionals Association / Projet de loi 32, Loi concernant l’Association des professionnels en ressources humaines.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Good morning all. The Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills will now come to order. We’re here for clause-by-clause consideration of Bill 32, An Act respecting the Human Resources Professionals Association.

The title is postponed until all other sections have been considered.

Are there any comments or questions to any section of the bill, and if so, to which section? You’re not required to speak at this point, just to let you know. You’re fine? Okay.

We’ll proceed then to the bill.

Interjection.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): I’ve had some very good advice. I’m going to be grouping clauses into sections, and I would just like to be sure that you’re all comfortable with that? Excellent; I’ll take that as unanimous consent.

Section 1: Any comments? Shall section 1 carry? Carried.

Section 2: Any comments? Shall section 2 carry? Carried.

Section 3: Any comments? Shall section 3 carry? Carried.

Section 4: Any comments? Shall section 4 carry? Carried.

Section 5: Any comments? Shall section 5 carry? Carried.

Section 6: Any comments? Shall section 6 carry? Carried.

Section 7: Any comments? Shall section 7 carry? Carried.

Shall sections 8 through 16 carry? Carried.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): At this point, I have to ask you for unanimous consent to revert to the table. The only amendment that has been submitted varies the table. I have unanimous consent? Agreed.

Mr. Prue, you have a motion?

Mr. Michael Prue: Yes, I do. I have a motion here that reads as follows:

I move that Table 1 of the Bill be amended by adding the following items:

“	6.	Certified Human Capital Professional	Conseiller en capital humain agréé	C.H.C.P., C.C.H.A.
	7.	Certified Human Capital Leader	Leadeur en capital humain agréé	C.H.C.L., L.C.H.A.	”

The rationale for this, I think, was contained and put down best in the letter from HRPA to the Clerk, and I’d just like to quote what it says: “The Human Resources Professionals Association would like to propose an amendment to table 1 designations in Bill 32 to include two designations that the association has trademarked. They’re listed below in column 1: 6. and 7., the Certified Human Capital Professional and Certified Human Capital Leader.”

This is upon the advice of their solicitors and it’s a very minor amendment to the table and to the bill, and I would ask support for it.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Are there any comments on this amendment? There being none, all those in favour? Amendment carried.

Shall the table, as amended, carry? Carried.

Sections 17 to 24: Any comments? Shall they carry? Carried.

Sections 25 to 33: Any questions, comments? Carried? Carried.

Sections 34 to 42: Any comments? Carried? Carried.

Sections 43 to 51: Any comments? Shall sections 43 to 51 carry? Carried.

Sections 52 to 60: Are there any comments? Shall the sections carry? Carried.

Sections 61 to 69: Any comments? Shall the sections carry? Carried.

Sections 70 to 77: Any comments? Shall the sections carry? Carried.

Table 1 was carried.

Shall the title of the bill carry? Carried.

Shall Bill 32, as amended, carry?

Shall I report this bill, as amended, to the House? Agreed.

The bill has been carried and I will be reporting it to the House.

APPOINTMENT OF SUBCOMMITTEE

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): We have a section on the appointment of the subcommittee on committee business. Mr. Nicholls?

Mr. Rick Nicholls: 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. Vanthof, Mr. Fraser and Mrs. McKenna; and

That substitution be permitted on the subcommittee.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Are there any questions or comments on this? None? All those in favour? Opposed? Carried.

That concludes our business.

Mrs. Jane McKenna: Mr. Chair?

Mrs. Donna H. Cansfield: Mr. Chair?

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Ms. McKenna first, and then Ms. Cansfield.

Mrs. Jane McKenna: Could I ask for a subcommittee meeting?

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): You can. After this meeting is concluded, I’m happy to talk with you and set a time.

Ms. Cansfield?

Mrs. Donna H. Cansfield: Actually, I wanted to do the same thing. I wanted to have a subcommittee meeting so we could discuss waste diversion and how we can move forward with it, so thank you very much. And I have a substitute for you for that.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Okay. Well, I’m happy to meet with the two of you and we will find a time. I’ll get in touch with Mr. Vanthof so we can convene the subcommittee.

Mrs. Donna H. Cansfield: Couldn’t we do it right now?

Mr. Michael Prue: I’m going back to my office. His is next door. I can send him back down the hall, if he’s available.

The Chair (Mr. Peter Tabuns): Well, I’m going to talk first about times when people are available, and then I’ll bring people together. We’ll adjourn now.

The committee adjourned at 0908.
