SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT

The Chair (Mr Bob Huget): I call the meeting to order. First of all, let me advise you that:

"Your subcommittee met on May 10, 1993, and agreed as follows:

"It was agreed that the committee will consider the report on bicycle helmets on Monday 17 May 1993.

"It was agreed that the report on bicycle helmets will be sent to the members of the committee and to the sponsor of the bill.

"It was agreed that the committee would not consider any of the three matters designated under standing order 125 at this time.

"It was agreed that the clerk of the committee will send follow-up letters to the Speaker and the standing committee on the Legislative Assembly asking for a response to the earlier letter on sign language interpretation in committees.

"The subcommittee approved the budget" -- for this committee -- "in the amount of $241,912 and recommends it to the committee."

Do I have a motion accepting the report of the subcommittee?

Mr Len Wood (Cochrane North): I so move.

The Chair: All those in favour? Carried.

COMMITTEE BUDGET

The Chair: As was referred to in the report of the subcommittee, we have a full committee budget which we'll distribute to you.

Clerk of the Committee (Ms Tannis Manikel): Members should have a copy.

The Chair: Does everybody have a copy? There are some who do not. I think the subcommittee has it, but the other members do not. All members should now have a copy of the budget. Any questions and/or discussion?

Mr Mike Cooper (Kitchener-Wilmot): Mr Chair, would you like me to move that?

The Chair: If there are no questions and no discussion of the budget, Mr Cooper, you have a motion?

Mr Cooper: I move that the budget in the amount of $241,912 be approved and that the Chair be authorized to present the budget to the Board of Internal Economy.

The Chair: Discussion on Mr Cooper's motion? Being none, all those in favour, please indicate. Opposed? The motion is carried.

Item 2 on today's agenda is consideration of the draft report on Bill 124, bicycle helmets. Is there unanimous consent to move in camera to discuss the draft report? Agreed.

The committee continued in closed session at 1550.
