WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2008
The committee met at 9:03 a.m.
Election of Chair and Deputy Chair
C. James (Clerk Assistant and Clerk of Committees): This being the first meeting of the Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts for the current session and there not being a Chairperson, I call for nominations for the Chair.
R. Hawes: I move Rob Fleming.
C. James (Clerk of Committees): Any further nominations? Any further nominations? Any further nominations? There being no further nominations, I presume you accept the nomination.
R. Fleming: I do.
C. James (Clerk of Committees): That being the case, I'll put the question.
Motion approved.
[R. Fleming in the chair.]
R. Fleming (Chair): Thank you very much, committee.
I would now like to call for the election of the Deputy Chair. We'll open the floor to nominations.
R. Hawes: I move Joan McIntyre.
R. Fleming (Chair): Joan McIntyre is nominated. Any other nominations? For a second time, nominations? For a third and final time, any further nominations? I will declare the nominations over, and Joan McIntyre is the Deputy Chair of the committee.
Interjections.
R. Fleming (Chair): It was just like watching Texas last night. Well done, Joan.
I will now move on to item 3, which is to elect the subcommittee on agenda and procedure so that the committee can carry on its business.
Election of Subcommittee
on Agenda and Procedure
R. Fleming (Chair): Typically, we have as members of the committee the Auditor General and the comptroller general. Craig James convenes those meetings. In the past it has been the Chair and the Deputy Chair, and I would suggest that we do that. We could have additional members, if there's interest. We'll move the composition, then, of those five persons, including Joan and I.
[0905]
The subcommittee on agenda and planning — let me get this on the record — is formally the Chair and Deputy Chair, and that has been moved. Is there any further discussion?
Motion approved.
R. Fleming (Chair): Members, any other business for the committee?
J. McIntyre (Deputy Chair): I was just going to welcome Bob Simpson and Claire Trevena to the committee as new members.
It's very interesting work. Welcome aboard.
R. Fleming (Chair): I'd also like to thank, for the record, Guy Gentner from Delta North, who is no longer a member of the committee, and Diane Thorne from Coquitlam-Maillardville as well. We thank them for their work.
Welcome, Bob and Claire.
Any other business, Members? A motion to adjourn?
Motion approved.
The committee adjourned at 9:06 a.m.
