TUESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2009
The committee met at 9:35 a.m.
[J. Les in the chair.]
J. Les (Chair): Good morning, everyone. Hopefully, this is the last time we meet this year, not that I don't enjoy your company. First of all, we need a motion to proceed in camera.
Motion approved.
The committee continued in camera from 9:36 a.m. to 11:39 a.m.
[J. Les in the chair.]
J. Les (Chair): We are now in public session of the legislative committee on Finance and Government Services. The motion I need is to approve the budgets for the statutory officers, as amended.
Motion approved on the following division:
YEAS — 5
| Letnick | McRae | Thornthwaite |
| Rustad | van Dongen |
NAYS — 4
| Ralston | Mungall | Donaldson |
| B. Routley |
J. Les (Chair): I now need a motion that when the report is prepared by the Clerk's office, it be deposited with the Clerk's office.
Moved. Seconded. Discussion?
B. Ralston: There will be an opportunity, then, for the Chair and the vice-Chair to review the amendments that might be made to the report in light of the in-camera discussion that took place today, I'm assuming. Is that correct?
C. James (Clerk Assistant and Clerk of Committees): All members will get a copy of the report before it's released.
B. Ralston: And then there'll be an opportunity for all members to propose revisions? Is that what's being suggested?
C. James (Clerk of Committees): If they're not substantive revisions. If they're substantive, then the committee would have to meet again to approve them.
J. Les (Chair): Any issues that arise we will try very hard to work out between the Chair and the vice-Chair. I'm not sure if I speak for all members of the committee, but another trip to Victoria is not on my agenda at the moment.
Motion approved.
J. Les (Chair): Is there any other business?
If not, a motion to adjourn would be good.
Motion approved.
The committee adjourned at 11:42 a.m.
