It has been moved by Mr. Dykstra that Mr. Gord Brown be elected as chair of the committee.
Are there any further motions?
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
I declare Mr. Brown duly elected chair of the committee.
Before inviting Mr. Brown to take the chair, if the committee wishes, we will now proceed to the election of the vice-chairs.
Pursuant to Standing Order No. 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the official opposition.
I am now ready to receive motions for the election of first vice-chair.
Mr. Dykstra, you have the floor.
