Deliberations

N. Simons (Chair): Good morning, committee members and those who are joining us through the audio link, through Hansard. Thanks for coming, although we’re about to go in camera.

We’re deliberating on the special project on neurodiverse special needs children. We made a lot of progress yesterday, and we have some more to go today.

Thanks for coming back again.

With that, I’d ask for a motion to go in camera.

R. Leonard: So moved.

N. Simons (Chair): Moved by Ronna-Rae, seconded by Laurie.

The committee continued in camera from 9:37 a.m. to 12:59 p.m.

[N. Simons in the chair.]

N. Simons (Chair): We’re back on the air.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank each and every member of this committee, the research staff, the Clerk’s office and the Hansard people here and somewhere underground nearby. We did a lot of work. I hope that the work will result in improvements to services for children and youth.

We’ll be back next week to further fine-tune our excellent report.

With that, I seek a motion to adjourn.

E. Ross: So moved.

N. Simons (Chair): Moved by Ellis, seconded by Rachna.

Motion approved.

The committee adjourned at 12:59 p.m.
