Ms. Burianyk: — Good morning members. Welcome to the meeting of the Standing Committee on the Economy. As you are aware, we have received a letter of resignation from the Chair, Mr. Huyghebaert, so it’s my duty as Committee Clerk to preside over the election of a new Chair. So I’ll now call for nominations for that position. Mr. Gantefoer.

Hon. Mr. Gantefoer: — Thank you, Madam Clerk. I move:

That Darryl Hickie be elected to preside as the Chair of the Standing Committee on the Economy.

Ms. Burianyk: — Thank you. Mr. Gantefoer has nominated Mr. Hickie to the position of Chair. Are there any further nominations? Okay. It’s been moved by Mr. Gantefoer:

That Mr. Hickie be elected to preside as Chair of the Standing Committee on the Economy.

All in favour of the motion?

Some Hon. Members: — Agreed.

Ms. Burianyk: — All those opposed? I declare the motion carried. And since Mr. Hickie is not in attendance today, I will need to preside over the election of an Acting Chair. So I’ll now call on a nomination for that position and a motion. Mr. Gantefoer.

Hon. Mr. Gantefoer: — Thank you. I move:

That be elected to preside as Acting Chair of the Standing Committee on the Economy for the meeting of June 15, 2009.
