Mr. Calandra has moved that Mr. Pat Martin be elected chair of the committee.
Are there any other motions?
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
I declare the motion carried and Mr. Martin the duly elected chair of the committee.
Before I invite Mr. Martin to take his seat, I would seek the indulgence of the committee for consent to proceed with the election of the vice-chairs.
Pursuant to the same standing order, the first vice-chair must be a member of the government party. I'm ready to receive a motion to that effect.
Mr. Martin.
