Transport committee  Thank you for that. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the official opposition. I am now prepared to receive motions for the first vice-chair.

Transport committee  It has been moved that Mark Strahl be elected as first vice-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 the motion carried and Mark Strahl duly elected first vice-chair of the committee.

Transport committee  I'm sorry. My microphone had just stopped working. Can you hear me now?

Transport committee  As I was attempting to say before, I can offer only advice. I don't rule on anything, so it would be just my advice to you, as chair, that I do not believe this standing order applies in a situation in which we would need to adjourn due to lack of resources. If the committee wanted to set a limit on the number of interventions by members and set a time limit on itself, it could of course do that, but that in itself would be a debatable motion.

Transport committee  Could I just jump in there, Mr. Chair?

Transport committee  I believe there is a standing order that applies. It's to prevent chairs from arbitrarily ending meetings without the consent of a committee and whatnot, and that would not technically apply in this situation. In this situation, we have certain resource limitations that are beyond anyone's control here.

Transport committee  The motion to move directly in camera would supersede that. We could take a vote on that right away, to see whether or not the committee moves in camera. If that were to occur, and we had a positive decision, we'd have to send out all new Zoom links to the members who are participating via Zoom, and we would excuse the witnesses from the room.

Transport committee  Actually we just need someone to— I see Marilyn.

Transport committee  They're 30 minute bells.

Transport committee  I'm sorry for the confusion. I believe the question was about what happens with questions that are taken while you're in camera under the provisions of this motion. That is very tricky, because we'd be recording names and whatnot, which is counter to how we do things in camera.

Transport committee  Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice‑chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. I am now prepared to receive motions for the election of the second vice‑chair.

Transport committee  It has been moved by MP Marilyn Gladu that Melissa Lantsman be elected as first vice-chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? Seeing none, pursuant to the House order of Thursday, November 25, 2021, I will now proceed to a recorded division unless there is consent to adopt the motion.

Transport committee  It has been moved by Mr. Bachrach that Mr. Barsalou‑Duval be elected as second vice‑chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? Pursuant to the House Order of Thursday, November 25, 2021, I will now proceed to a recorded division, unless I have the unanimous consent of the committee.

Transport committee  No, I'm sorry. I didn't. Whoever jumped on their mike first got my attention.
