Bill No. 906 — The Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Amendment Act

Clause 1

The Chair: — We are happy today to examine private Bill No. 906, The Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Amendment Act. We will first table the report from the Law Clerk, have some comments from the sponsoring member or organization, and then we will proceed to clause-by-clause consideration of the bill.

I’d like to table PBC 13‑29, Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel: Report on Bill No. 906, dated April 25th, 2024.

Marie Shalashniy, Deputy Parliamentary Counsel, is available if there are any questions on the Law Clerk report. Are there any questions?

Mr. Ottenbreit, would you please introduce the witnesses here with you and make any comments you have on the bill.

Mr. Ottenbreit: — Absolutely, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the committee members for sitting this morning. With me to my far right is Mr. Daniel Glaeske, member of the governance committee. Just behind us is Mr. Murray Nelson, Chair of the board of regents. And to my immediate right is Ms. Elizabeth Williamson of Williamson Law.

And my only opening comments, very brief, is that I’m honoured to be sponsoring Bill 906 on behalf of the Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute, a long-standing entity in this province. Great work that they’ve done for the many decades that they’ve been involved.

And to just bring a bill like this forward for some housekeeping amendments to change it to more align with the way they operate, to make their operation more efficient when it comes to meeting dates and gatherings, Mr. Chair, is something I am very honoured to do. And I’m proud to be with them here today.

The Chair: — Well thank you, Mr. Ottenbreit. Are there any committee members that have any questions? Seeing there are no more questions, we will begin a clause-by-clause consideration.

Clause 1, short title, is that agreed?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

The Chair: — Carried.

[Clause 1 agreed to.]

[Clauses 2 to 11 inclusive agreed to.]

The Chair: — His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, enacts as follows: The Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Amendment Act.

I would ask a member to move that we report Bill No. 906, The Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Amendment Act without amendment. Mr. Ottenbreit so moves. Is that agreed?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

The Chair: — Carried. I will now ask a member to move the following motion:

That the fees respecting Bill No. 906, The Lutheran Collegiate Bible Institute Amendment Act be waived.

And we are very pleased that these changes will hopefully be enacted and proclaimed soon.

And we would also like to thank Marie Shalashniy for guiding us through the process. Thank you very much.
