Thanks for the vote of confidence in allowing me to chair this esteemed committee. I am looking forward to the work we are about to undertake.
What we will do is go right into routine motions and set the ground rules for the committee for the upcoming session. After that, I wouldn't mind just going around and having everybody introduce themselves, because there are some new players on this committee, including myself. I am looking forward to finding out more about you and exactly what environmental issues are your personal interests as we go forward. Then we'll set up a time for the steering committee to meet to set out our agenda and hopefully get to work next week.
With that, we're going to look at the motions that were passed last year. They were actually put into the briefing book binders that Norm had circulated, and he also has them circulating right now.
Everybody has a copy of the routine motions in front of them. We'll go through them one at a time. We're going to be using the ones that were adopted by the committee for the 39th Parliament, second session.
The first one is services of analysts from the Library of Parliament. The one that was passed read:
That the Committee retain, as needed and at the discretion of the Chair, the services of one or more analysts from the Library of Parliament to assist in its work.
Are there any proposed changes to that motion?
Mr. Warawa.
