[B. D’Eith in the chair.]
B. D’Eith (Chair): I just wanted to say we’re back, the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services.
Firstly, I just wanted to thank everyone on the committee for amazing work. You did a wonderful job. We had a big tour, and we’ve been working very hard on this.
I also wanted to thank Hansard, everyone from Hansard, who have worked very hard; and of course, Nicki, Karan and Jennifer for all of your amazing work, and the research team.
I don’t know if anyone wanted to add to that.
S. Cadieux: I’ll just echo on behalf of our committee members: thanks for all the hard work for all the staff, in coordinating our efforts and pulling all of our thoughts together so succinctly; and to you, Chair, for guiding the process, because it’s an extra burden. Thank you very much.
B. D’Eith (Chair): Thanks, Stephanie.
N. Simons: Can I just say that I really appreciate the fact that we were able to work in a very cooperative and collaborative way, even though I probably “p” you off once in a while. I think they were healthy discussions that we had. We had a good opportunity to figure out where we’re all coming from on issues, and I think that’s always a good thing. We heard some very interesting presentations around the province, and it was an honour to be a part of this committee.
I thank you, Chair, for your work.
B. D’Eith (Chair): Thanks, Nicholas.
S. Furstenau: Also, heroic work on Hansard’s part. Thank you.
B. D’Eith (Chair): Absolutely.
Okay, we have two motions.
