MOTION: MR. ARMOUR: So moved. MS. O'HARA: Second. MS. NICHOLSON: All in favor? ACTION ON MOTION: All: Aye MS. NICHOLSON: Any opposed? None. DISCUSSION REGARDING FINAL REPORT: MS. NICHOLSON: This is the shortest agenda we've ever had. Discussion regarding final reports. We have some written comments from both Eileen and Gloria and I noted that Glen and Ken were busy looking at their notes, and I have some notes, so, shall we start from the top? And thank everyone for really taking time to read this one more painful time. MS. GARSON: Madam Chair. Just so you know, what we have on the screen right now is Ms. O'Hara's corrected version only because she made all the okina changes so we wanted to just accept all the okina changes. Right now we have her draft but if something is not accepted we'll just not accept that change. MS. NICHOLSON: Okay, good. Let's go ahead and accept the okina changes throughout the entire report. Is that work for everyone? So as we go through these corrections our pagination may change in the Table of Contents. Does anyone have any corrections on the introduction, page 1? Anyone have any corrections in the first paragraph and items listed 1,2,3,4? MS. WONG: Oh wait. I'm sorry. I had a change. MS. NICHOLSON: Oh you had a change in the Table of Contents. MS. WONG: Well, suggestions. Suggested changes. MS. NICHOLSON: Let's look at the Table of Contents then, and let's not look at page numbers because we know those could change. MS. WONG: Summary, I would like to suggest to add — of the COGS's Recommended Priorities. Do we want to add that or do we not want to add that? It is an Executive Summary but I wanted to point out that we have a 10-point short list, although I did not want to call it a 10-point short list. MS. NICHOLSON: So what are you suggesting it's called — Executive Summary of MS. WONG: The commission's recommended priorities. MS. O'HARA: With the commission's recommended priorities? 2
