Your subcommittee on committee business met on Friday, July 10, 2026, and recommends the following: (1) That the Legislative Assembly of Ontario staff be invited to present to the committee about the process for the care and handling of Indigenous art and artifacts during the Queen’s Park restoration project. (2) That the Clerk of the Committee make all necessary arrangements for the committee to travel to Ottawa, Ontario, for a site visit of the House of Commons’ Centre Block project on August 19, 2026. (3) That the committee conduct a review of the televising of the legislative proceedings, and of the guidelines established by the House with respect to the television broadcast system, in the fall of 2026. I move the adoption of the subcommittee report.
