Good morning, honourable members.
Honourable members of the committee, I see that we have a quorum. We can now proceed to the election of the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party. I would also like to inform members that the clerk of the committee can receive motions only for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive any other types of motions and cannot entertain points of order or participate in debate.
I am now ready to receive motions to that effect.
Mr. Storseth.
