Hansard Verbatim Report
No.
1— Wednesday, December 4, 2024
Procedural Clerk:
— Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on
Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice. I’m Miranda Gudereit, the committee
Clerk. It is my duty as committee Clerk to preside over the election of a new
Chair.
I’d like to remind members of the
process. I will first ask for nominations. Once there are no further
nominations, I will then ask a member to move a motion to have a committee
member preside as Chair. I will now call for nominations for that position. I
recognize Minister Ross.
Hon. Alana
Ross: —
Thank you. I nominate Blaine McLeod.
Procedural Clerk:
— Minister Ross has nominated MLA [Member of the Legislative Assembly] Blaine
McLeod to the position of Chair. Are there any further nominations? Seeing
none, I would now invite one of the members to move the motion. I recognize
Minister Ross.
Hon. Alana
Ross: —
I move:
That Blaine McLeod
be elected to preside as Chair of the Standing Committee on Intergovernmental
Affairs and Justice.
Procedural Clerk:
— Moved by Minister Ross:
That Blaine McLeod
be elected to preside as Chair of the Standing Committee on Intergovernmental
Affairs and Justice.
All in favour of the motion?
Some
Hon. Members: — Agreed.
Procedural
Clerk: — All
those opposed? I declare the motion carried and invite MLA Blaine McLeod to
take the Chair.
Chair B.
McLeod: —
Thank you, committee members, and I do look forward to working together with
you. My name is Blaine McLeod and I am the committee Chair.
Our next item of business is the
election of a Deputy Chair. And before we begin, I want to remind members of
the process. Pursuant to rule 123(2), the Deputy Chair must be an opposition
member.
I will first ask for nominations, and
once there are no further nominations, I will then ask a member to move a
motion to have a committee member preside as Deputy Chair. I will now call for
nominations for that position. I recognize MLA Mowat.
Vicki Mowat: — Thank you, Mr.
Chair. I nominate Betty Nippi-Albright.
Chair B. McLeod: — MLA
Mowat has nominated MLA Albright to the position of Deputy Chair. Are there any
further nominations? Seeing none, I would now invite one of the members to move
the motion.
Vicki Mowat: — Mr. Chair, I move:
That Betty
Nippi-Albright be elected to preside as Deputy Chair over the Standing
Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice.
Chair B. McLeod:
— It has been moved by MLA Mowat:
That MLA Betty
Nippi-Albright be elected to preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee
on Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice.
Are the members ready for the question?
Some Hon. Members:
— Question.
Chair
B. McLeod: — All in favour of the motion?
Some Hon. Members:
— Agreed.
Chair
B. McLeod: — Opposed? I declare the motion
carried. Committee members, we will now establish a steering committee. At the
beginning of each legislature, a steering committee is appointed to establish
an agenda and priority of business for subsequent meetings. I will now ask for
a motion for the establishment of a steering committee. I recognize MLA Ross.
Hon. Alana
Ross: —
Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move:
That a steering
committee be appointed to establish an agenda and priority of all business for
subsequent meetings and that the membership be comprised of the Chair and
Deputy Chair; and further,
That a steering
committee shall meet from time to time as directed by the committee or at the
call of the Chair; that the presence of all members of the steering committee
is necessary to constitute a meeting; and that substitutions from the
membership of the Standing Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs and Justice
be permitted on the steering committee.
Chair B. McLeod:
— MLA Ross has so moved. Are the members ready for the question? All in favour
of the motion?
Some Hon. Members:
— Agreed.
Chair
B. McLeod: — Any opposed? I declare the motion
carried.
That concludes our business today and I
will ask a member to move a motion for adjournment. MLA Ross so moves. Is that
agreed?
Some Hon. Members:
— Agreed.
Chair B. McLeod:
— Carried. The committee stands adjourned to the call of the Chair.
[The committee adjourned at 09:07.]
