KEY AIRCRAFT SERVICES INC. ACT, 2004


The committee met at 1100 in committee room 1.

KEY AIRCRAFT SERVICES INC. ACT, 2004

Consideration of Bill Pr7, An Act to revive Key Aircraft Services Inc.

The Chair (Ms Marilyn Churley): Good morning, everybody. I'll call the meeting to order. This is my first meeting as Chair, so bear with me. I apologize for being a few minutes late.

The next order of business is Bill Pr7, An Act to revive Key Aircraft Services Inc. I now want to introduce Linda Jeffrey, MPP. Do you want to come forward, Ms Jeffrey? Also Mr Robert Filkin, legal counsel, please come forward. Good morning.

Mrs Linda Jeffrey (Brampton Centre): Thank you for having us here. I'm Linda Jeffrey, MPP for Brampton Centre, and I'm here to sponsor Bill Pr7, a private bill. I would like to introduce Robert Filkin from McCabe, Filkin and Associates, who will explain the bill to the committee on behalf of the applicant.

Mr Robert Filkin: Thank you, Madam Chair. It's a very simple bill to revive a corporation called Key Aircraft Services Inc. This became necessary; the corporation was inadvertently dissolved by filing articles of dissolution before its business could be concluded, its final tax returns filed and its assets disposed of appropriately. So it was just a timing thing. The intention was to dissolve it, but the client decided to try to save legal fees and do it on their own, and did it before everything else could be completed. So now we're here, having to put it back in place so we can finish those things, and then it will be dissolved again.

The Chair: Thank you very much. Are there any others who wish to speak to this bill; any comments from the parliamentary assistant on the government's behalf?

Mrs Maria Van Bommel (Lambton-Kent-Middlesex): Certainly, we have no concerns about this. It seems that there was an inadvertent mistake made, and this will just rectify that. I understand that the company will eventually be dissolved anyway, so this is really a technical housekeeping issue. So we have no concerns or objections to this.

The Chair: Does anybody have any questions or comments? Well, this is simple for my first meeting.

Mr Khalil Ramal (London-Fanshawe): We want to make it easy for you the first time.

The Chair: Thank you very much. At the next one, there will be tough questions.

So are the members ready to vote? I'm going to look at my script here for how to do this. Let's see. What do I do here? There are no amendments, right? So I'm just going down through sections -- but no amendments.

The Clerk of the Committee (Ms Tonia Grannum): Right.

The Chair: Thank you. All right. Let's try this again.

Shall section 1 carry? Carried.

Shall section 2 carry? Carried.

Shall section 3 carry? Carried.

Shall the preamble carry? Carried.

Shall the title carry? Carried.

Shall the bill carry? Carried.

Shall I report the bill in the House? All right. That's carried. We're done.

Thank you all very much, and thank you for coming today to present this. Thank you, Ms Jeffrey.

We are adjourned.

The committee adjourned at 1104.
