Deliberations
J. Brar (Chair): Good morning, committee members. I would like to call the meeting to order.
First of all, I would like to acknowledge that I am joining today’s meeting from the traditional territories of Kwantlen, Katzie, Semiahmoo and Tsawwassen First Nations, and I would urge the members to reflect upon the territory that you are on today.
Could I have motion to go in camera, please?
B. Anderson: I will move that motion.
Motion approved.
The committee continued in camera from 9:06 a.m. to 10:29 a.m.
[J. Brar in the chair.]
J. Brar (Chair): Thank you, Members, for a fulsome discussion today on the issues we are dealing with in this committee, and that is whether the allowance to political parties should continue after 2022 and, if yes, then how much and how long it should be.
Thanks for the discussion. We will come back and meet again at a future date to talk about the recommendations again.
Before I ask for a motion to adjourn the meeting, is there anybody else who wants to say anything? None.
I need a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Adam, seconded by Brittny.
Motion approved.
The committee adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
