The Chair Chris Warkentin
I wanted to inform you, colleagues, that I've received a letter from our vice-chair, Dennis Bevington, that he is resigning his position as vice-chair. So we will seek to elect a new vice-chair. I think there's a little bit of an arrangement as to who they would like to nominate.
I'm going to move out of my seat, and our clerk will take over for that election process.
As I leave, I'd like to make a nomination of that person when I get to a different seat.
