Members of the committee,
I see a quorum. We can proceed with the election of the chair.
I'm ready to receive motions to that effect.

It is moved by Mrs. Neville that Mrs. Fry be elected as chair of this committee.
Are there any other nominations?
There are no other nominations. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt this motion?

I declare the motion carried and Mrs. Fry to be the duly elected chair of the committee.

Hear, hear!

We have to move to the election of the vice-chairs.
Do I have any nominations for vice-chair from the government side?
Mrs. Wong.

Are there any other nominations?

Since we have more than one nomination, we will have to proceed by ballot.

I thought that we were doing the two nominations at the same time. All right.
3:35 p.m.
The Clerk
Anyway, it wouldn't have been from the right party, so we're fine as is.
There are no other nominations for a vice-chair from the government side. Therefore, Mrs. Hoeppner is duly elected as government vice-chair.
3:35 p.m.
Some hon. members
Hear, hear!

The Clerk
Now we need a nomination for the other vice-chair.
