In the last parliament this council moved a motion, it was passed, it asked the Clerk to prepare some work to ensure that we have effective committees. We currently do not have effective committees. I now hope that this council will seek that report so we can continue to work towards having better committees. With that, I commend the motion and note that I will be taking it to a vote on the next Wednesday of sitting.</text>
