The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin
Colleagues, thank you very much. It's a privilege to be back here.
The standing orders continue, so it's unnecessary for us to adopt them again.
I'm asking that copies of the land use report be distributed again. My hope is that we can have a conversation among the steering committee members in the next little bit, but I suspect this will be on the minds of committee members, so I'm just asking that there be copies distributed so that members can review that again in anticipation that we'll be dealing with that in meetings to come.
I have no further business to attend to at this meeting, other than I will request that at some point steering committee members collect some ideas as to what your respective parties might want to do and we'll try to collaborate at some point.
Ms. Crowder.

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin
Let's do that.
We will meet as the steering committee at the regularly scheduled time.
The meeting is adjourned.
