Committee Report to the House
BUDGET CONSULTATION REPORT
B. D’Eith (Chair): We’re going to pass out the motions.
D. Ashton (Deputy Chair): Mr. Chair, that the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services approve and adopt the report entitled Report on the Budget 2018 Consultations , as presented and amended today, and, further, that the committee authorize the Chair and Deputy Chair to work with committee staff to finalize any minor editorial changes to complete the supporting text.
B. D’Eith (Chair): So moved. Okay.
Motion approved.
R. Leonard: I’d like to move that the Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services deposit a copy of the report entitled Report on the Budget 2018 Consultations with the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly and, further, that upon resumption of the sittings of the House, or at the next following session, the Chair shall present the report to the Legislative Assembly at the earliest available opportunity.
Motion approved.
B. D’Eith (Chair): I would like to thank the committee for the very hard work we did in a very compressed period of time. I also wanted to say my appreciation for making a unanimous report and working together to come to consensus on the entire report. I think that’s a great testament to working together, given that we have three parties in the room. So thank you very much for that.
I also wanted to thank Lisa and Susan and the staff for doing an amazing job. Thank you very, very much. Especially when we were on the road, you took care of us very well. And turning around these documents — I don’t know how you did it so fast. Thank you.
We’ll just take a short recess until we can get Kate in. Five minutes.
The committee recessed from 9:09 a.m. to 9:12 a.m.

[B. D’Eith in the chair.]
B. D’Eith (Chair): We are on the public record. We are on the air.
A. Weaver: I’d like to move that a subcommittee be formed comprising the Deputy Chair and the Chair to explore the auditing process further.
B. D’Eith (Chair): Any discussion?
M. Dean: Is it clear that it’s the auditing process of the Auditor General?
A. Weaver: That’s a friendly amendment to my motion that I accept unequivocally.
Motion approved.
B. D’Eith (Chair): Motion to adjourn.
Motion approved.
