The committee met at 11:01 a.m.

Election of Chair and Deputy Chair

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): Good morning, Members. As you know, this is the first meeting of the committee for the third session, so our first order of business is to elect a Chair and a Deputy Chair. I have one member on the phone: Mike Morris, the convener of the committee.

My first order of business: are there any nominations for the position of Chair?

S. Hamilton: I move that Mike Morris be nominated for the position of Chair.

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): Okay, Scott and Darryl.

Any further nominations for the position of Chair? Asking a third time, any further nominations?

Seeing none, Mike, do you accept the position?

M. Morris: I gratefully accept the position.

[M. Morris in the chair.]

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): Mike, the next order of business is the election of a Deputy Chair, and that would be for you.

M. Morris (Chair): I will call for nominations for Deputy Chair.

S. Fraser: I would nominate Spencer Chandra Herbert for the position of Deputy Chair.

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): Scott has nominated Spencer, and Darryl has seconded the nomination.

M. Morris (Chair): Okay, so any further nominations? Any further nominations? And any further nominations?

Hearing none, we have a new Deputy Chair.

S. Chandra Herbert (Deputy Chair): Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

M. Morris (Chair): These are the slickest elections I’ve ever seen. Is there any further business?

S. Chandra Herbert (Deputy Chair): Do we need to move a decision to have the meeting later this month, or have we done that in a previous session? We did, or I guess the former committee did that for us.

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): Yes.

S. Chandra Herbert (Deputy Chair): Okay, thank you.

M. Morris (Chair): They did a great job.

S. Chandra Herbert (Deputy Chair): They sure were a great committee.

S. Sourial (Committee Clerk): The next meeting of the committee, at the moment, is scheduled for October 29.

M. Morris (Chair): Okay, so if any of the members of the committee have contacted anybody, or anybody has contacted them, with respect to wanting to make a presentation to us, just let Susan know. We can consider that for any future meetings.

I guess if there’s no further business, we’ll adjourn the meeting until next time.

The committee adjourned at 11:04 a.m.
