I have to start over again now. Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, Bill 61, An Act to Amend the Ombud Act, received second reading in the Legislative Assembly on November 2nd, 2022, and was referred to the Standing Committee on Government Operations for review.
The committee received eight written submissions and oral comments at a public review of this bill. Considering the valuable feedback received from stakeholders during the review period, the committee was pleased to see two proposed amendments concurred with by the sponsor of the bill at the committee's clause-by-clause review.
As a result of the committee's review of Bill 61, the committee presented its report on Bill 61 to the Legislative Assembly on February 14th, 2023.
I would like to thank the committee for its work on the review of Bill 61. Individual members may have additional comments.
