Verbatim Report
No.
21 — Wednesday, November 15, 2023
[The
committee met at 11:01.]
The Chair:
— Well good morning, everyone. We’ll convene the Standing Committee on Public
Accounts. I’ll recognize our committee members that are with us today: Mr. Hugh
Nerlien, Ms. Lisa Lambert, Mr. Todd Goudy, Mr. Daryl Harrison, and Mr. Jim Lemaigre. We have Mr. Clarke substituting for Ms. Young,
Regina University.
The
first item of business is the election of a Deputy Chair here today. I’d like
to remind all members of that process. I’ll first ask for nominations. Once
there are no further nominations, I will then ask to move a motion to have a
committee member preside as Deputy Chair. So I will
now call for nominations for that position. I recognize Mr. Goudy.
Mr. Goudy:
— I would like to nominate the very capable Hugh Nerlien for the position of
Deputy Chair.
The Chair:
— All right, Mr. Goudy has nominated Mr. Hugh Nerlien to the position of Deputy
Chair. Are there further nominations? Any further nominations? Any further
nominations? Seeing none, I would now invite one of the members to move that
motion. Mr. Goudy.
Mr. Goudy:
— I move:
That Hugh Nerlien preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on Public
Accounts.
The Chair:
— All in favour of that motion? All opposed? That’s carried.
Deputy
Chair Nerlien, it will be good to work with you. And to all committee members —
there’s been a couple adjustments to this committee — looking forward to
working with you all in our work in the weeks and months to follow.
I
have some documents to table. At this time, I’d table the following documents:

So
at this point in time, I’d welcome a motion of adjournment. Moved by Mr. Lemaigre. All agreed?
