The Chair Liberal Ruby Sahota

Not that I had a vote, but I think I showed my cards there too.

Mr. Nater, welcome to the position. We're happy to have you.

Now if I could have you all log off and log in to the in camera portion of the meeting, hopefully we can get through the draft report.

Thank you.
