[The committee met at 09:01.]

 

Procedural Clerk (Ms. Humble-Selinger): — Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Private Bills. 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 Mr. Ottenbreit.

 

Mr. Ottenbreit: — Thank you. I nominate Mr. Fred Bradshaw to the position of Chair.

 

Procedural Clerk (Ms. Humble-Selinger): — Mr. Ottenbreit has nominated Mr. Fred Bradshaw to the position of Chair. Are there any further nominations? Seeing none, I would now invite the member to move the motion.

That Fred Bradshaw preside as Chair of the Standing Committee on Private Bills.

The Chair: — Well good morning, committee members. Today we have with us the Hon. Lori Carr; substituting for Meara Conway, we have Aleana Young; we have the Hon. Jeremy Harrison, Ms. Lisa Lambert, Mr. Greg Ottenbreit, and Ms. Nicole Sarauer.

 

The first item of business is the election of the Deputy Chair. I’d like to remind members of the process. We will first ask for nominations. Once there are no further nominations, I will ask a member to move a motion that we have a committee member preside as Deputy Chair.

 

I’ll now call for nominations for that position. I recognize Mr. Ottenbreit.

Mr. Ottenbreit: — Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will now move:

 

That Nicole Sarauer preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on Private Bills.

 

The Chair: — It has been moved by Mr. Ottenbreit:

 

That Nicole Sarauer preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.

 

All in favour of the motion?

 

Some Hon. Members: Agreed.

 

The Chair: — Carried.

 

We are here today to examine the petition for private Bill No. 906, Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute. First we’ll consider the report on the petitioners’ compliance with rules. The deputy parliamentary counsel Marie Shalashniy will provide her report. Do you have any comments?

 

Ms. Shalashniy: — All right. Good morning. I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’m aware it’s December 5th.

 

So not much to say other than the rules have been fully complied with. It’s been a bit of an uphill battle to get this one through, but we were able to carry forward the requirements that were met in 2022. And this group was a pleasure to work with. They had legal counsel and it made it very easy for us. Any questions?

 

The Chair: — Are there questions from the committee members? Seeing none, I would like to table the following report from the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel as PBC 12‑29, Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel: Report on the petitioners’ compliance with rules for petition for private Bill No. 906, dated November 29th, 2023.

 

We are finished reviewing the petition. I would ask a member to move the following motion:

 

That the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel’s report on the petitioners’ compliance with rules for petition for private Bill No. 906 be accepted.

 

Is that agreed?

 

Some Hon. Members: Agreed.

 

The Chair: — Carried . . . Oh, sorry about that. I recognize Ms. Lambert.

 

Ms. Lambert: — Yes, I’d like to move the motion:

 

That the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel’s report on the petitioners’ compliance with rules for petition for private Bill No. 906 be accepted.

 

The Chair: — Is that agreed?

 

Some Hon. Members: Agreed.

 

The Chair: — Carried.

 

Last item of business is consideration of the committee report. Are there any questions? Seeing none, I’d ask a member to move the following motion:

 

That this report of the Standing Committee on Private Bills be adopted and presented to the Assembly.

 

Ms. Lambert: — Yes, I make that motion:

 

That the sixth report of the Standing Committee on Private Bills be adopted and presented to the Assembly.

 

The Chair: — Ms. Lambert has moved the motion. Is that agreed?

 

Some Hon. Members: Agreed.

 

The Chair: — Carried. Our business is concluded for today’s meeting. I’ll ask a member to move a motion of adjournment.

 

Hon. Ms. Carr: — I so move.

 

The Chair: — Ms. Carr has so moved. Is that agreed?

 

Some Hon. Members: Agreed.

 

The Chair: — Carried. This meeting is adjourned to the call of the Chair.

 

[The committee adjourned at 09:08.]
