And the after effects of that impasse are having an effect right now on the Chamber of Commerce’s membership, which is holding a Special General Meeting at the Radisson right now. They are deciding whether or not they should embark on a one-day business shutdown in protest of governance issues.  The Chamber is considering two resolutions, the first to push through changes to the composition and terms of reference for the Senate Select Committee, and, failing that, effect a shutdown.  The second is to effect a shutdown is there is not immediate action on the Public Accounts Committee and the Integrity Commission.

The meeting started at 6:00 and is about midway right now.  The vote will be taken at the very end.
