[The Convener opened the meeting at 10:08]
I welcome colleagues to the Finance Committee's first meeting in 2001. We have had notification that our new member, Donald Gorrie, is likely to be late. If he does not arrive in the next two minutes, we will delay item 2 on the agenda.
We will proceed to agenda item 3, on how the committee should handle our inquiry into resource accounting and budgeting, and return to item 2 when appropriate.
Meeting continued in private.
Meeting resumed in public.
