Honourable members,
Yesterday, I received a letter of resignation from Mr. Nathan Cullen, the chair of the committee. The letter was sent to all the members of the committee, for their information.
As a result of receiving this letter, a vacancy has occurred in the office of chair of the committee.
It is now incumbent upon me as clerk of the committee, pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), to proceed immediately to the election of a chair.
I want to remind members that this same standing order provides that the chair of the access to information, privacy, and ethics committee be a member of the official opposition.
I'm now ready to receive motions to that effect.
Mr. Del Mastro.
