Mayor D.

Dianna de Sousa, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce spoke in support of the recommendation.

Bryce Kumka, Chair, Wood Buffalo Development Advisory Committee, questioned what is defined as social procurement.

A written submission received from the Fort McMurray Construction Association, in support of this initiative, was read into the record.

Councillor M. Allen proposed a friendly amendment to change “30 days” to “60 days” and to replace the words "a report and an action plan that can be implemented on an urgent basis to Council" with "an update and a further action plan for implementation”, which was accepted by Mayor D. Scott.
