CHAIRMAN
Mr. Mat Whynott
MS. BECKY KENT (Chairman): I'd like to call this meeting to order. My understanding is that we are where we expect to be. We usually start our meetings with some introductions, just for the record, and we don't have a lot of business.
[The committee members introduced themselves.]
MADAM CHAIRMAN: Our business today is just our agency, board and commission appointments. We have no committee business, so we'll go right to our appointments; you should all have a list of them. We'll start with Mr. Skabar.
MR. BRIAN SKABAR: Madam Chairman, I move that Jerry Amirault be appointed as a member to the Fisheries and Aquaculture Loan Board of Nova Scotia.
MADAM CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions? Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.
The motion is carried.
The Department of Health and Wellness. Mr. Epstein.
MR. HOWARD EPSTEIN: I move that the following be appointed to the Cape Breton District Health Authority: Yvon J. LeBlanc as chairman and board member; and Eileen Bruleigh, Louise Smith-MacDonald, and Ronald I. Williams as board members.
MADAM CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions? Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.
The motion is carried.
The Department of Labour and Advanced Education. Mr. Estabrooks.
HON. WILLIAM ESTABROOKS: Madam Chairman, I move that Kenneth D. Crawford, Dr. Nelson Edward Davis, and Leo P. MacIntosh be appointed as members to the Cape Breton University Board of Governors.
MADAM CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions? Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.

MR. EPSTEIN: Madam Chairman, I move that Aun Jaffery be appointed as a board member to the Certified General Accountants Association of Nova Scotia.
MADAM CHAIRMAN: Are there any questions? Would all those in favour of the motion please say Aye. Contrary minded, Nay.
The motion is carried.
That concludes our business for today. Our next meeting is July 31st, which is a regular Tuesday - there are no changes through the summer - so that will be 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
Hearing no further business, we stand adjourned. Thank you for coming in.
[The committee adjourned at 9:06 a.m.]
