Does committee agree that we have concluded consideration of Committee Report 5-17(3)?
Agreed.
Thank you, committee, we are concluded Committee Report 5-17(3). We will move on to Tabled Document 2-17(3), Commissioner’s Opening Address. I will open the floor for comments. Mr. Hawkins.
Thank you, Madam Chair. I’ll certainly be brief. As I understand it, this will be a future discussion on the upcoming Caucus agenda, where Members will discuss at length. So what I will say and leave, certainly in brevity, that is I’m very concerned about the lack of collaboration with Regular Members on the development of this. I view this as a blueprint on the mission of where government is going from a vision context.
So in absence of sort of a collaborative approach, which we often hear about how we work together, the assurance of the 20-minute speech turned into 45 minutes and I’m sure it had nothing to do with the person who actually read it, more in the context of it was a lot larger than I was led to believe. That said, I’m willing to stand down any fine mechanical critiquing until Caucus has a thorough discussion on this particular issue, whether they want to continue it.
The last one I just want to mention is that the Commissioner’s opening address in this context is truly a hallmark of the vision of the government and I would say that it was most notable, in my point of view, that Members weren’t involved in the development of it, and that’s sort of the crux of my issue. But that said, in my view at this present time the issue is concluded and we will consider further detail and discussion when Caucus reviews it as an item. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Hawkins. Any further comments to Tabled Document 2? Seeing none, does committee agree we have concluded consideration of Tabled Document 2-17(3)?
Agreed.
Thank you, committee. Mr. Menicoche, what is the wish of committee?
Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that we report progress.
