The committee met at 10:03 a.m.
[M. Coell in the chair.]
M. Coell (Chair): Thank you, for those that are here. We have another one joining us by telephone shortly, and we have the Auditor General, John Doyle, on line from Australia. It is one o'clock in the morning there, their time. We also have Michael Macdonell and Beverly Romeo-Beehler from the Office of the Auditor General joining us.
I wonder if I could have a motion — we are going to be going in camera to discuss the Auditor General's letter to us — to include Michael and Beverly in that in-camera meeting.
Motion approved.
M. Coell (Chair): A motion to go in camera?
A Voice: So moved.
Motion approved.
The committee continued in camera from 10:04 a.m. to 10:36 a.m.
[M. Coell in the chair.]
Response to Correspondence
from Auditor General
M. Coell (Chair): We have two items to consider. One would be the response to the correspondence from the Auditor General and their input.
So if I could have a motion — and it would be a debatable motion, as well — to engage the Auditor General to complete the work on the Police Complaint Commission on our behalf.
Moved by Kathy, seconded by Ralph.
Any comments?
K. Corrigan (Deputy Chair): Yes. I think that's a good idea, subject to us receiving that back in September and that we approve what we see as a result of the work that has been done, the preliminary work.
M. Coell (Chair): That's correct, and we would ask the Auditor if he could present his draft budget workplan to us on the morning of September 5, and then we would formalize that at that day and move forward.
K. Corrigan (Deputy Chair): Perfect.
Motion approved.
Draft Business Plan
and Meeting Schedule
M. Coell (Chair): We have reviewed and looked at the draft business plan and made some suggestions to Susan to that.
Do you need a motion to approve the business plan? Moved by Kathy, seconded by Moira. Any comments?
Motion approved.
M. Coell (Chair): The other item that Kathy and Susan and I will look at is the timing of the next meetings for October and November and December as well. Also, the Chair and Deputy Chair will draft an ad for media release as well.
Anything else, Susan?
Anything else from committee members?
Motion to adjourn, moved by Leonard, seconded by Moira.
The committee adjourned at 10:38 a.m.
