Health committee  It will be on May 16.

Health committee  To write a letter to the Auditor General after the study?

Health committee  That's fine.

Health committee  Ms. Gagnon, I do not know if we will have time to discuss your motion because we have many witnesses to hear. Furthermore, we can meet with a reduced quorum to hear witnesses but we require a quorum of seven members to deal with a motion.

Health committee  I wish to inform the members of the committee of the resignation of Carolyn Bennett as first vice-chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), we will now proceed with the election of a new first vice-chair. I'm ready to receive motions to that effect.

Health committee  It has been moved by Ms. Bennett that Susan Kadis be elected first vice-chair of the committee. Are there any other nominations?

Health committee  I declare Ms. Susan Kadis first vice-chair of the committee. Congratulations.

Health committee  It's usually a day.

Health committee  Will it be by the end of the day on Thursday?

Health committee  Do you want a recorded vote?

Health committee  Okay. We have to have a motion on the dissenting report, also.

Health committee  We can do it afterwards.

Health committee  I need to know when he will give me the dissenting opinion. I need to have it so we can decide when to table the report.

Health committee  He may not be here. He's supposed to be here, so probably he's just a little late.
