ELECTION OF CHAIR

Clerk of the Committee (Ms Tonia Grannum): Honourable members, it's my duty to call upon you to elect a Chair. Can I receive nominations, please?

Mrs Helen Johns (Huron): I nominate Lillian Ross.

Mrs Lillian Ross (Hamilton West): I decline.

Clerk of the Committee: Okay. Any further nominations?

Mr Frank Klees (York-Mackenzie): I wonder if Ms Castrilli would like to be Chair. Is that an appropriate nomination?

Clerk of the Committee: Any further nominations? Seeing no further nominations, I declare Annamarie duly elected as Chair.

The Chair (Ms Annamarie Castrilli): Thank you very much. I want to thank Mr Klees for his nomination and all of you for your confidence. We have another exciting session, I suspect, with social development.

ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIR

The Chair: The next item of business is the election of the Vice-Chair. May I have nominations?

Mrs Marion Boyd (London Centre): I nominate Dwight Duncan.

The Chair: Are there any further nominations? Seeing none, I declare Mr Duncan duly nominated and elected.

Mr Klees: Congratulations.

The Chair: And a hard-fought election it was.

APPOINTMENT OF SUBCOMMITTEE

The Chair: Our next item is the appointment of the subcommittee on committee business.

Mr Klees: I move that a subcommittee on committee business be appointed to meet from time to time at the call of the Chair, or at the request of any member thereof, to consider and report to the committee on the business of the committee; that the presence of all members of the subcommittee is necessary to constitute a meeting; and that the subcommittee be composed of the following members: Ms Castrilli as Chair, Mr Carroll, who will represent the Ministry of Community and Social Services, Mrs McLeod and Mrs Boyd; and that any member may designate a substitute member on the subcommittee who is of the same recognized party.

The Chair: Any discussion on the motion? All in favour? Opposed, if any? The motion is carried.

Mr Klees, you're two for two. This is really good.

Moving right along, any further business?

Mrs Boyd: I have a question of the clerk, whether there's anything on the order paper at present.

Clerk of the Committee: Not at present.

The Chair: Any other business?

Mr Klees: I move adjournment.

The Chair: Adjournment has been moved. We are adjourned.

The committee adjourned at 1540.
