The committee met at 0904 in committee room 1.

Draft report on regulations

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): The Standing Committee on Regulations and Private Bills will now come to order. We are here today to consider the draft report on regulations made in 2013. Please note that you all should have draft number 4 in front of you.

At the end of our last meeting, the committee finished going through the report, and the next step will be to adopt the report. So I’m just going to ask: Are members ready to vote on the report as a whole?

MPP Walker.

Mr. Bill Walker: Chair, before we can, a point of clarification: On page 9, I see, “The committee has taken note of this issue but makes no recommendation at this time” on the Ministry of Transportation. I thought we had recommendations there and had moved forward on that.

Ms. Jennifer K. French: We’re on page 9 of draft 4?

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): Yes. Page 9 reads, “The committee has taken note of this issue but makes no recommendation at this time.” That was what was adopted at the last meeting.

Are we ready to vote on the report as a whole? Committee agrees? All right.

Shall the draft report number 4, including recommendations, carry?

All those in favour, please raise your hands.

Mr. Randy Hillier: Recorded vote.

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): I’ve already asked the question.

All those in favour?

All those opposed, please raise your hands.

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): The report will carry.

The next question for all of you is: Who shall sign off on the final copy of the draft?

Mr. Randy Hillier: Pardon me?

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): Who will sign off? Right now, we can either do the Chair or the subcommittee. Who will sign off on the final copy of the draft?

Mr. Lorenzo Berardinetti: The Chair.

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): The Chair? I hear the Chair.

All those in favour of the Chair? All those opposed?

Shall I present the report to the House and move the adoption of the recommendations?

Mr. Randy Hillier: Recorded vote.

Ayes

Berardinetti, Kwinter, Mangat, McGarry, Vernile.

Nays

French, Walker.

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): It’s carried.

That ends the business of the day, so the committee meeting is adjourned.

Mr. Randy Hillier: Is there not also a private bill that’s been referred to the—

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): Not today, no.

Mr. Randy Hillier: But there is a bill referred?

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): I move that the meeting is adjourned—sorry?

Mr. Randy Hillier: Are there private bills referred to this committee?

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): There are, but we weren’t able to hold them today.

Mr. Randy Hillier: So that will be dealt with in subcommittee?

The Chair (Ms. Indira Naidoo-Harris): In another meeting. We just weren’t able to schedule them today.

Before we adjourn, just a reminder that we have a subcommittee meeting right after. So thank you very much, everybody. This was a fast one. Thanks for coming out.

The committee adjourned at 0907.
