Election of Chair and Deputy Chair
K. Riarh (Committee Clerk): Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Karan Riarh. I serve as Clerk to the Special Committee to Review the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. I’d like to call this meeting to order.
We are joining today from the legislative precinct, which is located on the traditional territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋin̓əŋ-speaking peoples, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.
As this is the first meeting of the committee for the third session of the 42nd parliament, it is my honour, as Committee Clerk, to oversee the election of a Chair.
Do we have any nominations?
J. Routledge: Yes. I’d like to nominate Rick Glumac.
K. Riarh (Committee Clerk): Rick, do you accept?
R. Glumac: I do.
K. Riarh (Committee Clerk): Do we have any other nominations? Any other nominations? A third and final time, any other nominations?
A. Olsen: No, I guess not.
K. Riarh (Committee Clerk): So the question is that Rick Glumac take the role of Chair of the committee.
Motion approved.
[R. Glumac in the chair.]
K. Riarh (Committee Clerk): Congratulations, Chair.
R. Glumac (Chair): Thank you very much.
Our next item of business is to elect the Deputy Chair. Do we have any nominations?
T. Shypitka: I’ll put John Rustad’s name forward, please.
R. Glumac (Chair): Excellent.
John, do you accept the nomination?
J. Rustad: Yes.
R. Glumac (Chair): All right. Are there any other nominations? Going twice. Are there any other nominations? A third time. Are there any more nominations for Deputy Chair?
All right. We will vote on that.
Motion approved.
R. Glumac (Chair): That is unanimous. Motion carried.
Congratulations, John.
Committee Planning Update
R. Glumac (Chair): Our next order of business is planning update and discussion.
As you might recall, registration for presentations closed on February 7, and we will begin written, audio and video submissions in the coming days.
Today we will be reviewing the presenter list and conducting other administrative, scheduling and logistical details with respect to the committee’s public hearings and public consultation.
To do that, I would entertain a motion to move in camera. Henry. Seconded by Adam.
Motion approved.
The committee continued in camera from 12:10 p.m. to 12:57 p.m.
[R. Glumac in the chair.]
R. Glumac (Chair): We are back in the public meeting.
Thank you, Members, for all your feedback.
A motion to adjourn. From Henry and seconded by Janet.
Motion approved.
The committee adjourned at 12:57 p.m.
