Verbatim Report
No.
10 — Tuesday, December 2, 2025
Chair Steele:
— It’s the 5 o’clock hour; we’re going to get started here. Welcome to the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies. I’m Doug Steele. I’m the
Chair. Chris Beaudry
to my right, Terri Bromm to my right, and Brad Crassweller. Don McBean is . . .
I guess it’s Brittney now. Senger, is that how you pronounce your name,
Brittney? And Aleana Young is sitting in for Jordan McPhail, and Trent
Wotherspoon for Erika Ritchie. Thank you.
Okay, committee, supplementary
estimates. I would like to inform the committee that pursuant to rule 148(1),
the following 2025‑26 supplementary estimates no. 1 were committed
to the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies on November 27th, 2025:
vote 93, Saskatchewan Residential Fuel Charge; vote 152, Saskatchewan Power
Corporation; vote 140, Saskatchewan Water Corporation; vote 175, Debt
Redemption; and vote 176, Sinking Fund Payments, Government Share. Today we
will be considering these supplementary estimates.
First I will consider the supplementary
estimates from the Minister of Finance, including vote 175, Debt Redemption;
vote 176, Sinking Fund Payments, Government Share. We will begin with vote 175 . . .
Trent Wotherspoon: — I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. Mr.
Chair, I have a point of order. I’d like to raise a point of order with respect
to the fact we’ve come to learn that the Minister for CIC [Crown Investments
Corporation of Saskatchewan] who’s the minister responsible for these two very
large supplementary estimates that are before us here tonight — almost a
billion dollars of appropriations — that he won’t be attending the committee
here tonight. And obviously that doesn’t provide any sort of proper
accountability to this committee or to the legislature.
I’d ask for a ruling from you, Mr.
Chair, whether the minister responsible, Minister of CIC, whether his
non-attendance for his subvotes, almost a billion dollars of appropriations, is
acceptable.
Chair Steele: — Do any other members want to speak
to this point of order? Seeing none. I rule
that the point of order is out of order, I guess, as such.
So, okay. I will be voting in
this during the decision making of the committee tonight as Chair.
Okay.
Aleana
Young: —
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’d like to move the following motion:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies calls on the Minister for
Crown Investments Corporation to attend the meeting today as a witness during
the consideration of the supplementary estimates for Saskatchewan Residential
Fuel Charge and Saskatchewan Power Corporation.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. The member has moved:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies calls on the Minister of Crown
Investments Corporation to attend the meeting today as a witness during the
consideration of the supplementary estimates for Saskatchewan Residential Fuel
Charge and Saskatchewan Power Corporation.
Does anyone wish to speak to
the motion?
Aleana
Young: —
Mr. Chair, I’ll just put a couple comments on the record in regards to this. As
was stated by my colleague the member for Regina Mount Royal, we have nearly a
billion dollars of supplementary borrowing that’s happening at the committee
tonight.
The Crown and Central
Agencies Committee’s job is to provide oversight and accountability to the
Crowns. And when we have what I understand to be a meeting without precedent . . .
Never before has a minister of the Crown not appeared before the committee as a
witness. I think this is fundamental to the existence of democratic
institutions, of oversight and scrutiny when it comes to the disbursal of
public funds.
As such, as you’re aware, the
committee does have the power to compel witnesses to come before it. And I
think it’s incumbent on any minister of the Crown but certainly the Minister of
CIC, who again has a billion dollars of additional spending coming towards the
committee tonight, to make himself available to the Crown and Central Agencies
Committee to answer questions and provide that essential democratic function of
accountability.
Chair
Steele: — So we’ll move the motion
to a vote. Okay. Seeing no more comments, the motion will move to a vote. Is
that agreed?
Okay, I’ll read the motion
again for clarity:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies calls on the Minister for
Crown Investments Corporation to attend the meeting today as a witness during
the consideration of the supplementary estimates for Saskatchewan Residential
Fuel Charge and Saskatchewan Power Corporation.
So we’ll take it to a vote as
a committee. All in favour of the . . . Oh, okay. Sorry. Is that
agreed we take it to . . .
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Trent
Wotherspoon: — What’s the question,
sorry?
Chair
Steele: — For voting on the motion that
has been presented to us. Agreed?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — No. It’s lost. We’ll call
for a recorded vote. Okay, as a committee I’ll make you aware, as I am the
Chair . . . The question before the committee is the motion as
presented. I would like to inform the committee members that I will be
exercising my right to deliberative vote.
Okay, so then we’ll have a
show of hands. Those in favour of the motion? An aye? Okay.
Those opposed to the motion,
say no. Okay, no.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Okay, no. Yeah, the
motion is defeated. So we’ll continue on with proceedings then.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Mr. Chair.
Chair
Steele: — Yes.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
We have a billion dollars of appropriations before us here tonight. That’s the
bulk of what we’re dealing with. The minister is not showing up for his duty
and responsibility. As such, I would . . . I mean it’s unacceptable.
We’ll be ready to consider those estimates when the minister’s ready.
We had asked for a very
reasonable amount of time, one hour for the almost $200 million with
respect to the Saskatchewan Residential Fuel Charge, two hours with respect to
the nearly a billion — 800‑and-some million — of appropriation for Sask
Power Corporation.
Completely unacceptable that
a minister of the Crown, a minister responsible for those estimates, wouldn’t
take the time to come before this committee and answer basic questions. So
we’ll be ready for scrutiny when that minister is, but I’d move to adjourn
debate.
Chair
Steele: — Thank you. Okay, we’ll
continue on with proceedings of the committee this evening, so let’s go back to
our . . . [inaudible].
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
I moved to adjourn debate.
Chair
Steele: — He moved to adjourn
debate. Sorry.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
No use in having a charade here, Mr. Speaker, right? Like, you know, we’ll
adjourn debate now and then . . .
Chair
Steele: — Yeah, we don’t need to
start this. We want to get to the dealings of the evening so . . .
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Well, no.
Chair
Steele: — Okay, so Mr. Wotherspoon
has moved . . . Is that . . .
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Sorry, I guess I’m not adjourning . . . I would move to adjourn the
committee.
Chair
Steele: — The committee?
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
There’s no use in us sitting here for a
charade. We have items before us, a billion dollars in appropriations, and I
would . . . I see the signals coming in from the folks in the back
there. But you know, we can all as legislators understand that a minister
should show up for those appropriations. And we’re ready to do so when it works
for this minister and this committee. Sorry for all those that are here right
now, but I’d move to adjourn this committee.
Chair
Steele: — We’ll take a vote on
that. No?
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. So we’ll continue
on. The motion has been voted upon that is . . .
So we’ll continue on with
committee work this evening . . .
Aleana
Young: —
Mr. Chair?
Chair
Steele: — Oh.
Aleana
Young: —
Sorry. Thanks, Mr. Chair. You know, it’s clear that the government members on
this committee aren’t interested in compelling the Minister of Crown
Investments Corporation to come and answer basic questions when it comes to
accountability and respect for the legislature’s oversight mechanisms. I’d
remind all members that we have a duty and we’re bound by our Code of Ethical
Conduct, including the duties of accountability and respect for those oversight
mechanisms in the legislature. This committee itself has statutory reporting
obligations under various pieces of legislation as well as to the legislature
as itself.
If the Minister of Crown
Investments Corporation doesn’t believe it’s important to appear before this
committee — which again exists to exercise democratic oversight and
accountability for spending public dollars, for which all members on this
committee owe a duty — then I would move the following motion:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies calls on the Minister of
Finance to continue to attend the meeting today as a witness during the
consideration of all of the supplementary estimates.
I’m not sure if . . .
There’s lots going on here tonight, Mr. Chair, but the Minister of Finance is
right here.
Chair
Steele: — It’s all good. I’ve got
time. I’ve got time. We’ve got time. So okay, the member has moved:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies calls on the Minister of
Finance to continue to attend the meeting today as a witness during the
consideration of all of the supplementary estimates.
So does anyone wish to speak
to the motion? Seeing none, we will move to a vote. Is that agreed? We’ll move
to a vote?
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Okay.
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Chair
Steele: — Agreed, okay. All in
favour of the motion?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Chair
Steele: — Recorded. Against the
motion?
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Defeated. Okay, so there
being no more discussion, we’ll move into the script for the committee.
General Revenue Fund
Supplementary Estimates — No. 1
Debt Redemption, Sinking Fund
and Interest Payments
Debt Redemption
Vote 175
Chair
Steele: — Okay, we will begin with
the vote on 175, Debt Redemption. Minister Reiter is here with his officials. I
would ask that the officials please state their names before speaking at the
microphone. I remind, please do not touch the microphones. The Hansard operator
will turn your microphone on when it’s your turn to speak to the committee.
Minister, please introduce
your officials and make your opening remarks.
Hon.
Jim Reiter: —
Thanks, Mr. Chair. I have with me today Max Hendricks, who’s the deputy
minister of Finance; Amy Gates, who’s executive director of the provincial
treasury office; Matthew Glover, who’s executive director of communications;
and Jeff MacDonald, assistant deputy minister.
Mr. Chair, in light of the
fact that I think there was an understanding it’d be a brief period of time
here, I’ll decline making any opening comments and go straight to questions.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. Committee.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Yeah, thank you, Minister. Thanks, Chair. With respect to the vote 175, the
debt redemption, the $92,000, could the minister just provide a bit more detail
on this front and maybe talk a bit about any financial impacts and rates on
that borrowing and their terms?
[17:15]
Hon.
Jim Reiter: —
Yeah, so thanks, Mr. Wotherspoon. What this is is all the other debt repayment,
which was $1,529,420,000 that you see listed, that was already anticipated in
estimates at budget time. The extra $92,000 was from Innovation Saskatchewan.
They just decided that they were in a position to pay more of their debt
earlier. And since it wasn’t included in estimates for the budget, it would
need supplementary estimates.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
And with respect to vote 176, the sinking fund payment, it’s also not a real
large amount there. Could the minister just provide the details on it?
Hon.
Jim Reiter: —
Sure. So in May of ’24 a $1 billion Eurobond was done, which would be
roughly 1.8 billion Canadian. That was May of ’24. In May of ’25 — so
after the budget — in May of ’25, $18 million was transferred into the
sinking funds, which the sinking funds are essentially still an asset, right.
It’s an asset set aside for down the road to do a significant amount of the
debt repayment.
So $18 million was set
aside in May, which wasn’t in the estimates in March. So we would need the
supplementary estimate for that as well.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Thanks. And can you provide, on the bond, can you provide the rate and the term
on it?
Hon.
Jim Reiter: —
Sure. While Amy looks that up, I should just clarify I was rounding off there.
The 18 million is just slightly more than that, and again, a rough
estimate on what the conversion rate from the euro to Canadian dollars is. And
Amy’ll get me the amounts. I’ll just get you to do that.
Amy Gates:
— Amy Gates. So the Eurobond was a maturity of May 8th, 2034 at a rate of 4.66
per cent.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
And what are current rates that government’s accessing?
Amy Gates:
— Amy Gates. For a 10‑year debenture at this point it would be about 4.25
per cent, at this point in time right now.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
And what about 5 or 20?
Amy
Gates: — Oh, 20 I don’t know. The
30‑year, I would know at about 4.5 per cent; and 5 would be under 4.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Okay, thanks for that information.
Chair
Steele: — No more questions? Okay.
Okay, Minister, do you have any closing comments?
Hon.
Jim Reiter: —
No. Just like to thank Mr. Wotherspoon for the questions and all committee
members for your time and the officials for being here as well. Thank you.
Chair
Steele: — MLA [Member of the
Legislative Assembly] Wotherspoon, any closing comments?
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Yeah, thanks. Thanks to the officials. Thanks to the minister for being here
for this portion. And we’ll get ready to speak to these next items.
Chair
Steele: — Okay, we’ll move on. Vote
175, Debt Redemption. Debt Redemption, vote 175 in the amount of 92,000. There
is no vote on this, is statutory.
General
Revenue Fund
Supplementary
Estimates — No. 1
Debt Redemption, Sinking Fund
and Interest Payments
Sinking Fund Payments —
Government Share
Vote 176
Chair
Steele: — Okay, next vote on 176,
Sinking Fund Payments, Government Share. Sinking Fund Payments, Government
Share, voting on 176 in the amount of $18,797,000. This vote has no vote on it
and it’s statutory again.
Okay, any officials not
required for the next vote may leave. Do we need to take a brief recess?
General
Revenue Fund
Supplementary Estimates — No. 1
Saskatchewan Residential Fuel
Charge
Vote 93
(RF01)
Chair Steele:
— We will continue on the consideration on vote 93, Saskatchewan Residential
Fuel Charge, subvote (RF01) . . . Okay.
We’re going to move into vote
93, Saskatchewan Residential Fuel Charge. Saskatchewan residential fuel charge,
subvote (RF01) in the amount of 194,600,000. And no
vote on that either. Statutory.
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Well, Mr. Chair, yeah, I mean I think all can see what an absolute mockery this
is of any sort of accountability. You know, here of course we’re ready to
invite a minister before us to provide remarks and lay out the rationale, the
substance for the almost $200 million of additional borrowing in this case
here. We have no minister before us, and that’s supposed to just roll right
through. I mean this is not acceptable, Mr. Chair.
We laid out very clearly to
the government that we would like an allocation of time. We requested an hour
with the minister for $200 million on this front. We’ve identified that
we’d like a couple hours to review the $800 million for SaskPower. It
makes absolutely no sense that we would simply move forward without that basic
level of accountability and let that minister hide from accountability with
respect to this matter.
I mean this is with respect
to the carbon tax. And of course we’ve all been clear that we don’t support it
and that it shouldn’t be there on the gas bill. And we passed motions on that
front and stated as such. The minister has failed clearly on this front because
he suggested that we wouldn’t be on the hook for these dollars. And now we have
a minister mid-year which changes the financial position in a fairly
significant way and puts the public, puts the taxpayer on the hook for this
expense and doesn’t have the decency to show up to this committee and to this
legislature and to provide basic rationale and to answer questions around this
appropriation.
So this is completely
unacceptable, Mr. Chair. And I would move at this point again to adjourn this
committee.
An
Hon. Member: — They
already moved the motion once.
Chair
Steele: — Yeah . . .
Trent
Wotherspoon: —
Well I would just say this. You know, listen, I’ve been around this place for a
while. And I won’t be too hard on my good members opposite here. But I would
urge them . . . Like you have some independence in all of this. These
appropriations, this is basic stuff. Like are you telling me that we aren’t
going to answer for our constituents and those that we serve on an
appropriation of this matter and provide a rationale to them?
I mean at the end of the day,
we all stood up against the carbon tax. The minister had said that he had
passed legislation and that we wouldn’t have to remit this to the federal
government. And then he sneaks this in after the mid-year report outside of the
budget process, that, oopsy, he really failed on this front and actually the
public’s going to be on the hook for these $200 million. That that’s going
to be added to the debt of our province, that we’re going to pay interest on
that, that we’re going to have those costs, that that’s all going to be borne
by the people of this province. This is so incredibly reckless.
And I would just simply urge
members opposite . . . I understand you sometimes get some marching
orders coming in here. You’ve got to sometimes stand back and say, like stand
up and say, that’s not cool; I’m not doing it; you know, I’m going to stand up
for the people I represent. And so I would call on members opposite to think
about that.
In this way it’s absolutely
unacceptable that this vote move forward and that these considerations are
closed without a minister before us. And everyone, every single member of this
committee should expect as such.
Chair
Steele: — Mr. Wotherspoon. Mr.
Wotherspoon, your motion is not debatable. We’ll take it to a vote and then
we’ll see where . . . proceed from there.
So the motion to adjourn is
the vote on the table. Show of hands.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — That’s three, four. All
in favour?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Chair
Steele: — Three. Yeah. No, no, four
are against. Okay, so we move on. The motion is defeated, yeah. Okay.
Okay, here we go to next . . .
Okay, Saskatchewan Water Corporation.
General Revenue Fund
Supplementary Estimates — No. 1
Lending and Investing
Activities
Saskatchewan Water
Corporation
Vote 140
Chair
Steele: — We’ll now consider
supplementary estimates no. 1 for Saskatchewan Water Corporation, loans,
subvote (SW01). So there’s no vote on that.
Okay, vote 140, Saskatchewan
Water Corporation, loans, subvote (SW01) in the amount of 700,000. There is no
vote to be taken on this, so we move next. This is statutory.
General Revenue Fund
Supplementary Estimates — No. 1
Lending and Investing
Activities
Saskatchewan Power
Corporation
Vote 152
(PW01)
Chair
Steele: — Okay, number 6, SaskPower
Corporation. We will now consider supplementary estimate no. 1 for the
Saskatchewan Power Corporation loan, subvote (PW01).
Aleana
Young: —
Sorry, Mr. Chair?
Chair
Steele: — Pardon?
Aleana
Young: —
Thanks, Mr. Chair. Just with the indulgence of the committee, I would like the
opportunity to put a couple comments on the record in regards to this vote for
$813 million of supplementary estimates for SaskPower. My colleague
canvassed a lot of this. It is incredibly disappointing that the minister isn’t
here to take questions. Again I said it off the top, but this is without
precedent in Saskatchewan.
This isn’t typically an
opportunity . . . You know, I appreciate the cut and thrust of
opposition and government, but this is a basic principle of democracy and
accountability. This isn’t just kind of, you know, inside baseball and voting
against the opposition because they’re the opposition. I’d submit that a
government that refuses basic oversight, members that accept no scrutiny for
nearly a billion dollars of additional spending, there’s a lack of respect and
perhaps a forgetting for the people that we serve as elected officials in this
House. This is not the behaviour of a government that’s behaving within the
norms of basic democratic principles.
SaskPower is, I believe — I
have a bias — I think the most important Crown corporation we’ve got. I’m sure
folks at the other Crowns would debate that. But this is a government that’s
choosing secrecy and a lack of respect over accountability by not appearing.
And we’ve seen this. Ministers will appear at this committee. You know this,
Mr. Chair. Sometimes we filibuster . . . or they filibuster.
Sometimes they don’t answer questions at all, but they appear before this
committee because it is an obligation to the legislature and the people that we
serve.
This is a billion dollars,
nearly a billion dollars of additional spending, $813 million of
additional spending. SaskPower’s gone from projecting a surplus of $126 million
to now projecting a deficit of $166 million. That’s a $292 million
swing, and there’s no answers on how the Crown — because we can’t ask them
basic questions — on how the Crown is going to make up that lost revenue.
[17:30]
We don’t have any answers.
The only thing we can do is guess that it’s going to come from rate hikes and
that the taxpayers of Saskatchewan are going to be responsible for that. When
we look at the $813 million that is being asked for by the government and
supported by members opposite tonight, there’s one place that that comes from,
Mr. Chair. It comes from the taxpayers of Saskatchewan. This is not imaginary
money. It’s incredibly disappointing that the minister and his officials aren’t
here to take, again, basic questions on nearly a billion dollars in
appropriation.
We should be able to ask
these questions about what the plan is for SaskPower, how it’s going to get
back into the green, whether there are rate hikes coming, whether it’s going to
be homeowners, whether it’s going to be farms, whether it’s going to be small
businesses, whether it’s going to be industry who’s going to be on the hook for
this. Those missing carbon tax dollars that my colleague referenced, we don’t
know where those are going to come from. We don’t know if industry is going to
have to pay them back, if the government is going to turn around and ask them
for a cheque, or if it’s going to be the taxpayers who are responsible for
that.
We should be able to ask
ministers of the Crown basic questions about public money in this building. It
is one of the most core functions of democracy, and we can’t do that tonight.
And that’s not just a shame, it’s not . . . a waste of everybody’s
time. That is an undermining of the basic principles of democracy and
demonstrates such a lack of respect for the taxpayers of Saskatchewan, Mr.
Chair. And every government member here has voted to support that, and I find
that really disappointing.
Saskatchewan people, they
deserve basic answers when it comes to how this government is choosing to spend
public money. And instead tonight what we see is that the Sask Party government
has voted for secrecy over transparency and they have voted to hide from the
taxpayers.
Again nearly a billion
dollars of spending in public money, Mr. Chair. Affordability is the number one
issue for people. Cost of living is huge. This is a government with a spending
problem. This is a government who’s come back again and asked for nearly a
billion dollars more in public money and does not think it is acceptable to
answer questions about that, and that it’s somehow beneath them. And that is
such a shame for the fundamental institutions of democracy. That shows a real
lack of respect for the taxpayers and the ratepayers, and shows what I hope is
a one-off but unfortunately I fear may be a precedent for a government that has
forgotten who they serve.
Chair
Steele: — We’re going to move on
now, and thank you, Ms. Young . . . [inaudible] . . . So we
are back here on track. Okay, we’re moving to vote 152, Saskatchewan Power
Corporation loans, subvote (PW01) in the amount of 813 million. There is
no vote needed. Oh yeah, there is no vote taken. It’s statutory.
Aleana
Young: —
Sorry, Mr. Chair. Sorry, one more.
Chair
Steele: — One? Okay, make ’er
tight. Or short.
Aleana
Young: —
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have one more motion to move tonight. As I said, the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies and all MLAs in this
legislature are bound by the Code of Ethical Conduct, including those basic
duties of accountability and respect for the legislature’s oversight
mechanisms. And we all have duties and obligations as members, and I don’t feel
those have been . . . This hasn’t been a great show of respect here
tonight, Mr. Chair.
So with those comments, I
would move the following motion:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies considers the Minister of
Crown Investments Corporation’s failure to attend today’s committee meeting as
a witness to be a breach of the privileges of the committee; and further,
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies report the breach of privilege
to the Assembly for consideration.
Chair
Steele: — The member has moved:
That the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies considers the Minister of
Crown Investments Corporation’s failure to attend today’s committee meeting as
a witness to be a breach of the privileges of the committee; and further,
That the Standing Committee
on Crown and Central Agencies report the breach of privilege to the Assembly
for consideration.
Okay, so does anyone wish to
speak to the motion? Okay, we’re going to take a vote. Vote on the motion.
Seeing none, we’ll move to the vote on the motion. Is that agreed?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. Recorded. Show of
hands. You’re not in favour? No. Okay. And there . . . It’s . . .
[inaudible] . . . yeah. So it’s been defeated.
Gotta be happy, guys. It’s
December 2nd. Christmas is coming. Maybe I shouldn’t . . .
Aleana
Young: —
Maybe you’ll be visited by three ghosts,
Mr. Chair.
Chair
Steele: — It could happen. I don’t
believe in ghosts.
Aleana
Young: —
Accountability, transparency . . .
Chair
Steele: — Do you believe in Santa?
Aleana
Young: —
Of course.
Chair
Steele: — Well I do too. Okay.
Okay, committee members, you have before you a draft of the third report of the
Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies for the thirtieth legislature.
We require a member to move the following motion:
That the
third report of the Standing Committee on Crown and Central Agencies for the
thirtieth legislature be adopted and presented to the Assembly.
Chris
Beaudry: —
I do so move.
Chair
Steele: — Is that agreed?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — All right. We’ll call for
a show of hands on the vote. The question before the committee is . . .
I would like to inform committee members that I will be exercising my right to
deliberative vote. Those in favour of the motion, please say aye, I guess.
Some
Hon. Members: — Aye.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. Yeah, I’m aye
myself too. Yeah, okay. So those opposed to the motion, please say no.
Some
Hon. Members: — No.
Chair
Steele: — Okay. Thank you. Ayes
have it, and carried. Now we’re going to . . .
That concludes our business
for today. I would ask a member to move a motion of adjournment. Chris Beaudry.
And all in favour?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Chair
Steele: — Carried. The standing
committee is adjourned to the call of the Chair.
[The committee adjourned at
17:40.]
