The Chair (Mr. Lorne Coe)

Good afternoon, everyone. The Standing Committee on Justice Policy will now come to order. We’re joined by staff from the legislative research, Hansard and broadcast and recording. As usual, please wait until I recognize you before starting to speak. As always, all comments should go through the Chair, please. Are there any questions before we begin? I don’t see any. We’re meeting today to consider the motion filed pursuant to standing order 120. Who would like to move the motion? MPP Ciriello, please.

I guess my only question—maybe not a speech, but rather a point of clarification: Is there a subsequent motion coming up with the details?

MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam

It’s a simple scheduling matter. We don’t need to go in camera. I’ve said the same thing on previous motions akin to this. This is simply a scheduling matter; there’s nothing substantial to it. The public has every right to know how we deliberate and decide these dates.
