SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS
The Chair (Mr Peter Kormos): Okay, it's 4:06. There's a report to the committee from the subcommittee to the following effect with respect to Bill 124:
"The subcommittee met on Monday 27 April 1992 and agreed as follows:
"That the committee allow for additional time for witnesses unable to attend at earlier hearings plus such additions as provided to the clerk.
"That the committee will request the Ministry of the Attorney General, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Tourism and Recreation and the Ministry of the Solicitor General to express their concerns on specific issues for preparation of the bill (amendments) and regulations. In addition, the committee will invite the Bicycle Safety Advisory Council of the Ministry of Transportation to make a presentation prior to the ministries.
"That the committee will recommend a bill and a report to the House.
"That the ministries will be scheduled for one hour each with three scheduled on the same day.
"That the hearings will resume on 29 April 1992, if possible."
That report is moved by Mr Waters. Any discussion?
Motion agreed to.
The Chair: There's a further report of the subcommittee, and that is to the effect that:
"The subcommittee met Wednesday 22 April 1992 and agreed as follows:
"1. That the chair and vice-chair of the Workers' Compensation Board would be requested to appear before the committee one week after the interim report is tabled with the committee.
"2. That the clerk would canvass the three parties to check for possible witnesses on Bill 124, An Act to amend the Highway Traffic Act."
Who moves that?
Mr Daniel Waters (Muskoka-Georgian Bay): I can move that.
The Chair: It's moved by Mr Waters. Any discussion?
Mr Waters: There could be a conflict between what we talked about in subcommittee on this bill and that. I believe Ms Murdock, who hopefully will be here at any moment, who stepped out for a moment, can clarify when that is coming down.
The Chair: Obviously if this is made with such specificity, "That the chair and vice-chair of the Workers' Compensation Board would be requested to appear before the committee one week after the interim report is tabled," it would seem to me to supersede Bill 124 for the purpose of that one afternoon only. That's my understanding of the recommendation.
Mr Waters: That's fine with me as long as everyone's clear on that.
The Chair: Everybody's nodding his head indicating that's his understanding of it. You've moved acceptance of this report. All in favour?
Motion agreed to.
The Chair: Is there any other committee business? The committee is adjourned until Wednesday, 3:30 pm. Thank you.
The committee adjourned at 1610.
