Honourable members of the committee, I see that a quorum is present.
I must inform you that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. She cannot receive any other motions, hear points of order or participate in debate.
We can therefore proceed with the election of the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the governing party.
I am ready to receive nominations for the position of chair.
