EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
STATUTES REVIEW

The Acting Chair (Mr Mike Colle): I'll call the committee on justice policy to order. Members of the committee, we have an item from October 14: witness comments to be considered for inclusion in the report. One of the directions we have from the Legislature is to look at coming up with draft legislation and a report. So far, I have seen no indication of any report. The time is very close to the deadline of November 1. What's the committee's wish?

Ms Laurel C. Broten (Etobicoke-Lakeshore): I'm not sure how much of this discussion we want to have in camera. When we actually start writing and working on the report and legislation, I would move that we do move, as we have been, in camera.

Speaking to the issues in terms of a report, it is my understanding that there is a desire on the part of the committee to see a brief report be completed, and that we want to start with the document that has been prepared by legislative research and move into that quite extensively over the next day, today and tomorrow.

But before we get into those details, I would move that the report-writing stage and the drafting of the legislation both today and tomorrow be done in camera.

The Acting Chair: Any comments? We're moving into closed session.

The committee continued in closed session at 0915.
