CHAIRMAN

Hon. Kevin Murphy

 

 

MR. CHAIRMAN: Good morning. We’ll call our meeting of the Special Committee of the House of Assembly Management Commission to order. We’ll deal with the special agenda first, which is the Auditor General and Elections Nova Scotia budget approval process. Before we get started, we’ll go around the table. Just state your name and your constituency, if applicable, for the record.

 

[The committee members and staff introduced themselves.]

 

MR. CHAIRMAN: The agenda is pretty simple: two items, again, the budgets. The first is for the Auditor General. It has been presented in advance. Are there any questions or discussion?

 

Hearing no questions or discussion, can I have a motion to approve the proposed budget for the Auditor General’s Office for 2019-20? Moved by Mr. d’Entremont; seconded by Ms. Lohnes-Croft. Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.

 

The motion is carried

 

Item No. 2 is the estimates for Elections Nova Scotia for fiscal 2019-20. Any comments, questions or discussion? Hearing none, could I have a motion to approve the estimates for Elections Nova Scotia for 2019-20? Moved by Mr. MacLellan; seconded by Mr. Kousoulis. Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.

 

The motion is carried.

 

That concludes the meeting of the Special Committee of the House of Assembly Management Commission. Having said that, we can release the staff from both offices.

 

[The committee adjourned at 11:06 a.m.]
