Election of Chair and Deputy Chair
K. Ryan-Lloyd (Deputy Clerk and Clerk of Committees): Good morning, Members. As this is the first meeting of the Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts for the current fifth session and given that the committee has not yet elected a Chair for this session, I would like to, as the first item of business, open the floor to nominations to the position of Chair.
S. Sullivan: I nominate Bruce.
K. Ryan-Lloyd (Clerk of Committees): Thank you. I’ve got a nomination for Bruce Ralston from Sam Sullivan.
Are there any further nominations? Any further nominations? Any further nominations?
Seeing none, I will put the question.
Motion approved.
[B. Ralston in the chair.]
B. Ralston (Chair): Thank you to the committee for that.
The next item is the election of the Deputy Chair. Nominations are open. Are there any nominations?
D. Eby: I nominate the member for Vancouver–False Creek.
B. Ralston (Chair): Okay, Sam has been nominated. Anyone further? Any further nominations, once? Any further nominations, twice? Any further nominations, three times?
I declare Sam Sullivan elected as the Deputy Chair.
Congratulations, Sam.
The next item is the appointment of the subcommittee on agenda and procedure.
Establishment of Subcommittee
on Agenda and Procedure
B. Ralston (Chair): What I’m going to suggest is that George Heyman and Laurie Throness join myself and Sam on that committee. That will be a committee, then, of four. Is there a motion to that effect?
L. Throness: So moved.
B. Ralston (Chair): Moved, seconded. Discussion?
L. Throness: The committee used to be three. Why would it be four?
B. Ralston (Chair): It was always four. There’s myself and Sam and then one from each side, so four.
L. Throness: Who was on the last one? Who were the last members of the committee?
B. Ralston (Chair): George and Mike Morris.
L. Throness: Okay. I didn’t realize that George was there before. Sorry.
B. Ralston (Chair): No, it’s balanced. But thank you for that question. I thought maybe you were going to decline.
Motion approved.
B. Ralston (Chair): Any other business?
A motion to adjourn would be in order.
Motion approved.
The committee adjourned at 12:02 p.m.
