Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Trost, for being here.
I'm going to give you more latitude to explain your motion more fully. You talked about the mechanics of the motion itself, and you had some suggestions as to how the mechanics could work. I'd like to hear more about that.
Clearly right now, or at least ostensibly, we have a system of where we elect chairs. In those committees where the government is required to have a chair, the government puts up a candidate and everyone agrees. It's the same thing with the vice-chairs. We all know that's an agreement from the parties who do it. It's not really, perhaps, an open election as you perceive it to be.
I'd like to hear how you would envision this if you had the ability to craft the system yourself. Perhaps you could point out as well, in terms of some of the mechanics you've already identified, the differences between a majority and a minority government and how the elections might be influenced by that configuration.
For whatever is left of my seven-minute round, perhaps you would just walk this committee through how you would like to see this system enacted if you had the ability to set it up yourself.
