Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party.

The Chair Liberal Julie Dabrusin

I 'm going to first say, welcome, because we have a whole bunch of new members in our committee now. It is going to be great to be working together.

We're going to have to go in camera, so we can talk about what we're going to do next as a group.

I suggest we continue in camera.
