Madam Chair, I move that the committee recommends that the following be added after Rule 9.3(9):
(9.1) if the Member of the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight acts in a manner that warrants discipline, which includes but is not limited to:
(a) violating any provision of the Legislative Assembly and executive council Act and its regulations that deal with conduct and responsibilities of committee members.
(b) disclosing confidential committee information without committee approval;.
(c) attending a meeting under the influence of alcohol, cannabis, or other mind-altering substance; and
(d) being repeatedly absent from meetings without a valid excuse.
The committee may, by majority vote, suspend the Member from the committee for a period of up to three meetings in duration.
(9.2) if the Member has been suspended from the committee for a period of time, the chair of the committee will report the suspension to the House under reports of standing and special committees.
(9.3) the committee may, at any time, recommend to the House that a Member be removed from or reappointed to the committee.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
