          The committee met at 9:48 a.m.

Election of Chair and Deputy Chair

           C. James (Clerk Assistant and Clerk of Committees): This being the first meeting of the Select Standing Committee on Crown Corporations for the third session of the 38th Parliament and there not being a Chair, I call for nominations for the Chair.

           R. Cantelon: I nominate John Rustad.

           C. James (Clerk of Committees): Seeing no further nominations, I presume you accept the nomination. If that's the case….

           J. Rustad: Yes.

           C. James (Clerk of Committees): I'll put the question on the motion.

           Motion approved.

           [J. Rustad in the chair.]

           J. Rustad (Chair): Thank you. The next step, of course, is that we need to have a Deputy Chair, so I look for nominations for a Deputy Chair.

           C. Evans: I nominate Mr. Gentner.

           J. Rustad (Chair): Any other nominations? Any other nominations? Any other nominations for a third time?

           Guy, I assume you accept.

           G. Gentner: I have no other option. No one's here. Corky doesn't want it.

           Motion approved.

           J. Rustad (Chair): Other than that, the only other business I was going to bring up is a little bit on meeting schedules. I was considering that we should try to hold a meeting of the Crown Corps Committee, but one of the challenges is that we have not actually been charged yet as a committee, so we have to wait for that before we can actually meet. But I was hoping that sometime after the Easter break we would bring the committee together and consider our first task of business. If that works for everyone, then that's everything for today.

           Even though we have a new Chair of the committee, I've asked Iain Black to present the report tomorrow. I hope everyone's okay with that, being that he was the former Chair.

           Does anybody else have any other business? Motion to adjourn?

          The committee adjourned at 9:49 a.m.
