Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that Bill 6 be amended by deleting clause 17 and by substituting the following.

17(1)A person who is or is to be a member of a Plan of Care Committee is ineligible to sit as a member of the Plan of Care Committee if he or she is a subject of a report or investigation concerning another matter that is being dealt with under this Act or in respect of which a plan of care agreement or order is in effect;

(2)Where a person who is a member of a Plan of Care Committee becomes ineligible to sit as a member of a Plan of Care Committee, he or she is deemed to have resigned from the Plan of Care Committee;

(3)Where a person referred to in subsection (1) is or is to be a member of a Plan of Care Committee under subsection 15(2), the Child and Family Services Committee or the Child Protection worker, as the case may be, shall invite another person of the same category as that member to sit as a member;

(4)This section does not apply where the person referred to in subsection (1) is a child who is a member of the Plan of Care Committee under paragraph 15(2)(b).
