PRIVILEGES

Hansard Verbatim Report

No. 1 — Wednesday, December 4, 2024

[The committee met at 08:29.]

Chair Goudy: — Welcome everyone to the Standing Committee on Privileges. My name is Todd Goudy, and I’m the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and Chair of this committee. On our agenda this morning is the election of a Deputy Chair and the establishment of a steering committee.

We will begin with the first item of business which is the election of a Deputy Chair. Pursuant to the rules of the Assembly, the Speaker is the Chair of the Standing Committee on Privileges and the Deputy Chair shall be a member of the opposition.

I’d like to remind members of the process. I will first ask for nominations. Once there is no further nominations, I will then ask a member to move a motion to have a committee member preside as Deputy Chair. And I will now call for nominations for that position. MLA [Member of the Legislative Assembly] Mowat.

Vicki Mowat: — I nominate Nicole Sarauer as Deputy Chair.

Chair Goudy: — MLA Mowat has nominated MLA Nicole Sarauer to the position of Deputy Chair. Are there any other further nominations? Seeing none, I would invite one of the members to move the motion.

Vicki Mowat: — I move:

That Nicole Sarauer be elected to preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on Privileges.

Chair Goudy: — It’s been moved by MLA Mowat:

That Nicole Sarauer be elected to preside as Deputy Chair of the Standing Committee on Privileges.

All in favour of the motion?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

Chair Goudy: — All opposed? I declare the motion carried.

Next up on our agenda is the establishment of 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 Minister McLeod.

Hon. Tim McLeod: — Mr. Chair, I move:

That a steering committee be appointed to establish an agenda and priority of business for subsequent meetings and that the membership be comprised of the Chair and the Deputy Chair; and further,

That the 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 Privileges be permitted on the steering committee.

Chair Goudy: — Minister McLeod has moved:

That a steering committee be appointed to establish an agenda and priority of business for subsequent meetings and that the membership be comprised of the Chair and the Deputy Chair; and further,

That the 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 Privileges be permitted on the steering committee.

All in favour?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

Chair Goudy: — Opposed? Carried.

That concludes our business for today. I would ask a member to move a motion of adjournment. Minister McLeod has moved. All in favour?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

Chair Goudy: — Carried. This committee stands adjourned to the call of the Chair. Thank you all.

[The committee adjourned at 08:33.]
