The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

There's nothing in the motion, that I see, that would preclude the election of a chair, but members can review that.

I'm going to go to Ms. Glover.

Shelly Glover Conservative Saint Boniface, MB

Just a further clarification, Mr. Chair.

If one were to nominate someone to take the chair, that's not allowed because it's then debatable. But if you were to decide that you need a break and we didn't have a vice-chair to take the chair, as you decided to want to switch, that's when you would ask for consent, as the chair. If you didn't have consent, do you then just leave the chair and have the clerk take the chair, and now elect another temporary chair? Is that how the process would work?

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Let's get some clarification here, but let's proceed.

I'm going to get the clerks to consult together and come back to the committee, because Mr. Bélanger has a question and you have a question. I'd rather get that all straightened out and then come back to the committee. Okay?
