SA国际影视传媒淚 am honoured by the confidence placed in me by fellow members,SA国际影视传媒� said OSA国际影视传媒橰eilly. SA国际影视传媒淲ith these chair selections completed, we can focus on the legislative business we were elected to do.

SA国际影视传媒淲hile the House is sitting we have a lot of work on our plate in terms of how weSA国际影视传媒檒l deal with items before the House in terms of motions we want to bring forward as MLAs: reports, procedural issues and theme days. If I can facilitate things together on this side of the House with cabinet thatSA国际影视传媒檚 what I hope to accomplish and at the same time to hold cabinet to account.SA国际影视传媒�

OSA国际影视传媒橰eilly added that he has no specific goal in his AOC chair role other than ensuring Mandate priorities are accomplished.

SA国际影视传媒淭here have been curve balls thrown our way with the COVID-19 pandemic and the flooding that affects priorities in spending. I hope we can find ways to work together.SA国际影视传媒�

Committee chairs act in the same capacity as the chair of any board or council, running meetings according to the rules of procedure of that body (these are usually similar to RobertSA国际影视传媒檚 Rules of Order), acting as a spokesperson for the committee and voting, but only in the case of a tie.
