I have no objection to an orientation session.
In my motion, instead of talking about Thursday, October 22, we could say October 22, which is next week, or October 29, which is the following week. That would give the clerk some latitude in organizing the meetings if, for example, some guests were not available on Thursday of next week. It would also give them some latitude.
If we can't hold the training session before the week of October 29, we could still have the Auditor General come in next week and ask her questions. However, I prefer that we have the orientation session next week.
If everyone agrees, I will amend my motion to say “at its meeting on Thursday, October 22, 2020, or Thursday, October 29, 2020”. So the clerk will be able to schedule the orientation session at either of those two meetings, depending on people's availability.
